Subject: [PATCH v4 50/72] selftests/namespaces: third listns() permission test
Date: Wed, 29 Oct 2025 13:21:03 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251029-work-namespace-nstree-listns-v4-50-2e6f823ebdc0@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20251029-work-namespace-nstree-listns-v4-0-2e6f823ebdc0@kernel.org>
Test that users cannot see namespaces from unrelated user namespaces.
Create two sibling user namespaces, verify they can't see each other's
owned namespaces.
