[RFC PATCH v2 4/8] Move RLIMIT_NPROC counter to ucounts

Alexey Gladkov
2021-01-10T17:42:50Z

RLIMIT_NPROC is implemented on top of ucounts. The process counter is
tied to the user in the user namespace. Therefore, there is no longer
one single counter for the user. Instead, there is now one counter for
each user namespace. Thus, getting the RLIMIT_NPROC counter value to
check the rlimit becomes meaningless.

We cannot use existing inc_ucounts / dec_ucounts because they do not
allow us to exceed the maximum for the counter. Some rlimits can be
overlimited if the user has the appropriate capability.
