Would you be will to write some documentation for this flag? (It's the only remaining undocumented flag in clone(2).) Plain text would be fine -- I'll integrate it into the man page with suitable macros. Cheers, Michael ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Michael Kerrisk Date: Wed, Nov 19, 2008 at 3:04 PM Subject: Current state of CLONE_NEWUSER? To: Serge Hallyn Cc: Subrata Modak , ebiederm@xmission.com, lkml , linux-man@vger.kernel.org, clg@fr.ibm.com, herbert@13thfloor.at, dev@sw.ru Hi Serge, What is the current status of CLONE_NEWUSER? 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?
