Quoting Matt Brown (matt at nmatt.com):quoted
This patch adds struct user_namespace *owner_user_ns to the tty_struct. Then it is set to current_user_ns() in the alloc_tty_struct function. This is done to facilitate capability checks against the original user namespace that allocated the tty. E.g. ns_capable(tty->owner_user_ns,CAP_SYS_ADMIN) This combined with the use of user namespace's will allow hardening protections to be built to mitigate container escapes that utilize TTY ioctls such as TIOCSTI.

Greg, is the v5 okay to pull for you or would a v6 with Acks/Reviews included be preferred?v6 would be great, and we are dropping patch 2 from the series, right? I was expecting this to be resent. I'll start looking at new patches like this after 4.12-rc1 is out.I will create a v6 with the Acks/Reviews. I'd like to keep patch 2 in since that got acked by at least Serge. (Kees also? or just patch 1?)Sorry, I meant that patch 2's ack from serge got dropped accidentally. i.e. he Acked v4, but it wasn't in v5. Serge, just to double-check, does your Ack stand?
