Linus Torvalds 14986a34e1 Merge branch 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/ebiederm/user-namespace
Pull namespace updates from Eric Biederman:
 "This set of changes is a number of smaller things that have been
  overlooked in other development cycles focused on more fundamental
  change. The devpts changes are small things that were a distraction
  until we managed to kill off DEVPTS_MULTPLE_INSTANCES. There is an
  trivial regression fix to autofs for the unprivileged mount changes
  that went in last cycle. A pair of ioctls has been added by Andrey
  Vagin making it is possible to discover the relationships between
  namespaces when referring to them through file descriptors.

  The big user visible change is starting to add simple resource limits
  to catch programs that misbehave. With namespaces in general and user
  namespaces in particular allowing users to use more kinds of
  resources, it has become important to have something to limit errant
  programs. Because the purpose of these limits is to catch errant
  programs the code needs to be inexpensive to use as it always on, and
  the default limits need to be high enough that well behaved programs
  on well behaved systems don't encounter them.

  To this end, after some review I have implemented per user per user
  namespace limits, and use them to limit the number of namespaces. The
  limits being per user mean that one user can not exhause the limits of
  another user. The limits being per user namespace allow contexts where
  the limit is 0 and security conscious folks can remove from their
  threat anlysis the code used to manage namespaces (as they have
  historically done as it root only). At the same time the limits being
  per user namespace allow other parts of the system to use namespaces.

  Namespaces are increasingly being used in application sand boxing
  scenarios so an all or nothing disable for the entire system for the
  security conscious folks makes increasing use of these sandboxes
  impossible.

  There is also added a limit on the maximum number of mounts present in
  a single mount namespace. It is nontrivial to guess what a reasonable
  system wide limit on the number of mount structure in the kernel would
  be, especially as it various based on how a system is using
  containers. A limit on the number of mounts in a mount namespace
  however is much easier to understand and set. In most cases in
  practice only about 1000 mounts are used. Given that some autofs
  scenarious have the potential to be 30,000 to 50,000 mounts I have set
  the default limit for the number of mounts at 100,000 which is well
  above every known set of users but low enough that the mount hash
  tables don't degrade unreaonsably.

  These limits are a start. I expect this estabilishes a pattern that
  other limits for resources that namespaces use will follow. There has
  been interest in making inotify event limits per user per user
  namespace as well as interest expressed in making details about what
  is going on in the kernel more visible"
