<content type='text'>
Instead of including the full &lt;linux/signal.h&gt;, we are going to include the
types-only &lt;linux/signal_types.h&gt; header in &lt;linux/sched.h&gt;, to further
decouple the scheduler header from the signal headers.

This means that various files which relied on the full &lt;linux/signal.h&gt; need
to be updated to gain an explicit dependency on it.

Update the code that relies on sched.h's inclusion of the &lt;linux/signal.h&gt; header.

<title>sched/headers: Prepare for new header dependencies before moving code to &lt;linux/sched/task.h&gt;</title>

We are going to split &lt;linux/sched/task.h&gt; out of &lt;linux/sched.h&gt;, which
will have to be picked up from other headers and a couple of .c files.

Create a trivial placeholder &lt;linux/sched/task.h&gt; file that just
maps to &lt;linux/sched.h&gt; to make this patch obviously correct and
bisectable.

Include the new header in the files that are going to need it.

Add #include &lt;linux/cred.h&gt; dependencies to all .c files rely on sched.h
doing that for them.

Note that even if the count where we need to add extra headers seems high,
it's still a net win, because &lt;linux/sched.h&gt; is included in over
2,200 files ...

<title>Merge branch 'nsfs-ioctls' into HEAD</title>

From: Andrey Vagin &lt;avagin@openvz.org&gt;

Each namespace has an owning user namespace and now there is not way
to discover these relationships.

Pid and user namepaces are hierarchical. There is no way to discover
parent-child relationships too.

Why we may want to know relationships between namespaces?

One use would be visualization, in order to understand the running
system.  Another would be to answer the question: what capability does
process X have to perform operations on a resource governed by namespace
Y?

One more use-case (which usually called abnormal) is checkpoint/restart.
In CRIU we are going to dump and restore nested namespaces.

There [1] was a discussion about which interface to choose to determing
relationships between namespaces.

Eric suggested to add two ioctl-s [2]:
&gt; Grumble, Grumble.  I think this may actually a case for creating ioctls
&gt; for these two cases.  Now that random nsfs file descriptors are bind
&gt; mountable the original reason for using proc files is not as pressing.
&gt;
&gt; One ioctl for the user namespace that owns a file descriptor.
&gt; One ioctl for the parent namespace of a namespace file descriptor.

Here is an implementaions of these ioctl-s.

$ man man7/namespaces.7
...
Since  Linux  4.X,  the  following  ioctl(2)  calls are supported for
namespace file descriptors.  The correct syntax is:

      fd = ioctl(ns_fd, ioctl_type);

where ioctl_type is one of the following:

NS_GET_USERNS
      Returns a file descriptor that refers to an owning user names‐
      pace.

NS_GET_PARENT
      Returns  a  file descriptor that refers to a parent namespace.
      This ioctl(2) can be used for pid  and  user  namespaces.  For
      user namespaces, NS_GET_PARENT and NS_GET_USERNS have the same
      meaning.

In addition to generic ioctl(2) errors, the following  specific  ones
can occur:

EINVAL NS_GET_PARENT was called for a nonhierarchical namespace.

EPERM  The  requested  namespace  is outside of the current namespace
      scope.

[1] https://lkml.org/lkml/2016/7/6/158
[2] https://lkml.org/lkml/2016/7/9/101

Changes for v2:
* don't return ENOENT for init_user_ns and init_pid_ns. There is nothing
  outside of the init namespace, so we can return EPERM in this case too.
  &gt; The fewer special cases the easier the code is to get
  &gt; correct, and the easier it is to read. // Eric

Changes for v3:
* rename ns-&gt;get_owner() to ns-&gt;owner(). get_* usually means that it
  grabs a reference.

Pid and user namepaces are hierarchical. There is no way to discover
parent-child relationships.

In a future we will use this interface to dump and restore nested
namespaces.

Return -EPERM if an owning user namespace is outside of a process
current user namespace.

v2: In a first version ns_get_owner returned ENOENT for init_user_ns.
    This special cases was removed from this version. There is nothing
    outside of init_user_ns, so we can return EPERM.
v3: rename ns-&gt;get_owner() to ns-&gt;owner(). get_* usually means that it

<title>userns: When the per user per user namespace limit is reached return ENOSPC</title>

<content type='text'>
The current error codes returned when a the per user per user
namespace limit are hit (EINVAL, EUSERS, and ENFILE) are wrong.  I
asked for advice on linux-api and it we made clear that those were
the wrong error code, but a correct effor code was not suggested.

The best general error code I have found for hitting a resource limit
is ENOSPC.  It is not perfect but as it is unambiguous it will serve
until someone comes up with a better error code.

  The large piece in this one is getting rid of /proc/*/ns/* weirdness;

  make default -&gt;i_fop have -&gt;open() fail with ENXIO
