I'm currently trying to test this flag in preparation for documenting it in the clone(2) man page, but am running into an ENOMEM error from the clone() call, which seems to occur after a failure in kobject_init_and_add() in the following call sequence: clone_user_ns() --> alloc_uid() --> uids_user_create() --> kobject_init_and_add() Are there already some test programs somewhere? Is there any documentation already available for this flag?
