From 0ac983f512033cb7b5e210c9589768ad25b1e36b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Eric W. Biederman" Date: Thu, 24 Feb 2022 08:32:28 -0600 Subject: [PATCH] ucounts: Fix systemd LimitNPROC with private users regression Long story short recursively enforcing RLIMIT_NPROC when it is not enforced on the process that creates a new user namespace, causes currently working code to fail. There is no reason to enforce RLIMIT_NPROC recursively when we don't enforce it normally so update the code to detect this case. I would like to simply use capable(CAP_SYS_RESOURCE) to detect when RLIMIT_NPROC is not enforced upon the caller. Unfortunately because RLIMIT_NPROC is charged and checked for enforcement based upon the real uid, using capable() which is euid based is inconsistent with reality. Come as close as possible to testing for capable(CAP_SYS_RESOURCE) by testing for when the real uid would match the conditions when CAP_SYS_RESOURCE would be present if the real uid was the effective uid.
