Seth Forshee 73f03c2b4b fuse: Restrict allow_other to the superblock's namespace or a descendant
Unprivileged users are normally restricted from mounting with the
allow_other option by system policy, but this could be bypassed for a mount
done with user namespace root permissions. In such cases allow_other should
not allow users outside the userns to access the mount as doing so would
give the unprivileged user the ability to manipulate processes it would
otherwise be unable to manipulate. Restrict allow_other to apply to users
in the same userns used at mount or a descendant of that namespace. Also
export current_in_userns() for use by fuse when built as a module.

README

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
