So you'd say 'mount /dev/foo /proc/self/fd/4' if 4 was an fd pointing to a directory in another namespace?

That does require proc_check_root be removed. :\


Or just make an exception to self?

proc_check_root() could begin with:

if (current == proc_task(inode))
return 0;

For all other tasks it would still be effective.


Yes, I think something like that is workable :)

(we still have to fix up all the namespace->sem locking. I have yet to review Ram's patch.)
