[CFT][PATCH 3/3] userns: Unbreak the unprivileged remount tests

From: Eric W. Biederman
Date: Tue Dec 02 2014 - 15:32:26 EST



A security fix in caused the way the unprivileged remount tests were
using user namespaces to break. Tweak the way user namespaces are
being used so the test works again.

This is what it takes to fix a broken application, in it's full glory.
This fix works even if new functionality does not exist.
