[PATCH review 17/85] coda: Restrict coda messages to the initial pid namespace

From: Eric W. Biederman
Date: Wed Feb 13 2013 - 13:18:40 EST


From: "Eric W. Biederman" <ebiederm@xxxxxxxxxxxx>

Remove the slight chance that pids in coda messages will be
interpreted in the wrong pid namespace.

- Explicitly send all pids in coda messages in the initial pid
namespace.
- Only allow mounts from processes in the initial pid namespace.
- Only allow processes in the initial pid namespace to open the coda
character device to communicate with coda.
