[PATCH] Deny CLONE_PARENT|CLONE_NEWPID combination

From: Sukadev Bhattiprolu
Date: Tue Jul 28 2009 - 12:41:41 EST



Deny CLONE_PARENT|CLONE_NEWPID combination.

CLONE_PARENT was used to implement an older threading model. For consistency
with the CLONE_THREAD check in copy_pid_ns(), disable CLONE_PARENT and
CLONE_SIGHAND with CLONE_NEWPID, at least until the required semantics of
the pid namespaces are clear.

Changelog[v3]:
Remove CLONE_SIGHAND and for now only fail CLONE_NEWPID|CLONE_PARENT.
Changelog[v2]:
[Eric Biederman] Disable CLONE_SIGHAND also ?
