[PATCH 0/2 v2] userns: show current values of user namespace counters

Show all headers | View raw

Recently Eric added user namespace counters.  User namespace counters is
a feature that allows to limit the number of various kernel objects a
user can create. These limits are set via /proc/sys/user/ sysctls on a
per user namespace basis and are applicable to all users in that
namespace.

User namespace counters are not in the upstream tree yet,
you can find them in Eric's tree:
https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/ebiederm/user-namespace.git/log/?h=for-testing

This patch adds /proc/<pid>/userns_counts files to provide current usage
of user namespace counters.

  > cat /proc/813/userns_counts
  user_namespaces          101000               1
  pid_namespaces           101000               1
  ipc_namespaces           101000               4
  net_namespaces           101000               2
  mnt_namespaces           101000               5
  mnt_namespaces           100000               1

The meanings of the columns are as follows, from left to right:

  Name         Object name
  UID          User ID
  Usage        Current usage

The full documentation is in the second patch.

v2: - describe this file in Documentation/filesystems/proc.txt
    - move and rename into /proc/<pid>/userns_counts
