Subject: [PATCH 2/3] pidns: kill the unnecessary CLONE_NEWPID in copy_process()
Date: Thu, 22 Aug 2013 19:10:01 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20130822171001.GA20321@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20130822170939.GA20296@redhat.com>
8382fcac "pidns: Outlaw thread creation after unshare(CLONE_NEWPID)"
nacks CLONE_NEWPID if the forking process unshared pid_ns. This is
correct but unnecessary, copy_pid_ns() does the same check.
Test-case (needs root or CLONE_NEWUSER should be added):
static int child(void *arg)
{
return 0;
}
static char stack[16 * 1024];
int main(void)
{
pid_t pid;
assert(unshare(CLONE_NEWPID) == 0);
pid = clone(child, stack + sizeof(stack) / 2,
CLONE_NEWPID | SIGCHLD, NULL);
assert(pid < 0 && errno == EINVAL);
return 0;
}
clone(CLONE_NEWPID) correctly fails with or without this change.
