SubjectRe: [PATCH -mm 5/7] add user namespace
I wonder about another namespace coupling I found thinking
about your patches.

Lets take a look at sys_setpriority() or any other function calling find_user():
it can change the priority for all user or group processes like:

do_each_thread_ve(g, p) {
if (p->uid == who)
error = set_one_prio(p, niceval, error);
} while_each_thread_ve(g, p);

which essentially means that user-namespace becomes coupled with
process-namespace. Sure, we can check in every such place for
p->nsproxy->user_ns == current->nsproxy->user_ns
condition. But this a way IMHO leading to kernel full of security
crap which is hardly maintainable.

Another example of not so evident coupling here:
user structure maintains number of processes/opened files/sigpending/locked_shm etc.
if a single user can belong to different proccess/ipc/... namespaces
all these becomes unusable.

Small patch comment:
- what is the reason in adding 2nd arg to find_user()?

Thanks,
Kirill
