[PATCH review 5/6] vfs: Allow unprivileged manipulation of the mount namespace.

From: Eric W. Biederman
Date: Mon Nov 19 2012 - 05:50:48 EST


From: "Eric W. Biederman" <ebiederm@xxxxxxxxxxxx>

- Add a filesystem flag to mark filesystems that are safe to mount as
an unprivileged user.

- Add a filesystem flag to mark filesystems that don't need MNT_NODEV
when mounted by an unprivileged user.

- Relax the permission checks to allow unprivileged users that have
CAP_SYS_ADMIN permissions in the user namespace referred to by the
current mount namespace to be allowed to mount, unmount, and move
filesystems.
