From: Miklos Szeredi <[email protected]>
Add sysctl variables for accounting and limiting the number of user
mounts.
The maximum number of user mounts is set to 1024 by default. This
won't in itself enable user mounts, setting a mount to be owned by a
user is first needed
[akpm]
- don't use enumerated sysctls

Just from a containers point of view, I think this is something we'll
need to fix up in the near future if it stays in the current form.
Instead of having a global tracking, perhaps we could have a per-user
limit tracked in 'struct user'. The plans are to ensure that two
containers' users "dave" each have a different 'struct user', so that
seems to be a decent place to track it.
Also, is a read-only sysctl really the best way to get the number of
user mounts back out of the kernel? What would you use it for?
Do you need any special logic for setting 'max_user_mounts' in the case
where it gets set _below_ 'nr_user_mounts'?

One little nitpick on the patch layout: It's a wee bit difficult to
audit how the set function is used vs the clear one when its users don't
come until the later patches. It might be worth introducing the users
here, too.

At one time there was a per-user accounting patch, but it was dropped,
because it was deemed an unnecessary additional compexity.
max_user_mounts is analogue to files_stat.max_files (which is a sysctl
tunable also), and it's purpose is really to make sure that a user is
not able to create an insane number of mounts, and not to acurately
limit normal usage.
So I'm not sure a per-container or per-user count is really needed.

Just to check, why I got that (EPERM or whatever) error for the mount
command.

No, I don't think such corner cases really matter in this case.

Yeah, maybe some of the patches should be folded together. If a
resubmit is necessary I'll look into that.
