Re: [PATCH RFC 0/5] Containerize syslog

Quoting Rui Xiang (leo.ruixiang-Re5JQEeQqe8AvxtiuMwx3w@public.gmane.org):

From: Xiang Rui <redacted>

In Serge's patch (http://lwn.net/Articles/525629/), syslog_namespace was tied to a user
namespace. We add syslog_ns tied to nsproxy instead, and implement ns_printk in
ip_table context.

Since you say 'we', I'm just wondering, which project is this a part of?

We add syslog_namespace as a part of nsproxy, and a new flag CLONE_SYSLOG to unshare
syslog area.

Thanks, looks like you save me the time of having to add some users of
nsprintk :)

I understand that user namespaces aren't 100% usable yet, but looking
long term, is there a reason to have the syslog namespace separate
from user namespace?

thanks,
