In container scenario, all logs are exported to the ring buffer of host. Then logs belong to a contaier can't be distinguished. Sometimes, Some of our guest are administered by other sys-admin, that should not have access to these infomations. Syslog namespace is used to include a independent log buf own to a container, some logs which need to be displayed in container are stored to the buf, and others are all exported to HOST. The link of the 1st version is http://lwn.net/Articles/525728/. In that version, syslog_namespace was added into nsproxy and created through a new clone flag CLONE_SYSLOG when cloning a process. There were some discussion in last November about the 1st version. The 2nd version (http://lwn.net/Articles/561271/) used these important advice, and referred to Serge's patch (http://lwn.net/Articles/525629/). In this patchset, patch01-10 implement a mechanism for syslog_ns. Iptables is an actual scene to use syslog ns. So patch11 uses ns_printk interface to isolate logs. Syslog namespace is tied to a user namespace. And we must create a new user ns before create a new syslog ns, because that will make users have full capabilities in this new userns after cloning a new user ns. The syslog namespace can be created through a new command(11) to __NR_syslog syscall. That owe to a new syslog flag SYSLOG_ACTION_NEW_NS. In syslog_namespace, some necessary identifiers for handling syslog buf are containerized. When one container creates a new syslog ns, individual buf will be allocated to store log ownned this container. A new interface ns_printk is added to print the logs which we want to see in the container. Through ns_printk, we can get more logs related to a specific net ns, for instance, iptables. Here we use it to report iptable logs per contianer. Then default printk targeted at the init_syslog_ns will continue to print out most kernel log to host. One task in a new syslog ns could affect only current container through "dmesg", "dmesg -c" and /dev/kmsg actions. The read/write interface such as /dev/kmsg, /pro/kmsg and syslog syscall continue to be useful for container users. This patchset is based on linus' linux tree. v1 --> v2: -- Add syslog_ns to user namespace instead of nsproxy. -- Create syslog_ns through a new command(11) to __NR_syslog syscall instead of CLONE_SYSLOG. -- Alter related interfaces and parameters. v2 --> v3: -- Add some changlogs to illustrate the purpose of syslog ns. -- Add ns_printk_emit for namespace and make devkmsg_writev per namespace. -- Add ns_console_unlock for namespace. -- Put user ns while freeing syslog_ns. -- Use net instead of skb->dev->nd_net in sb_close. -- Clean up.
