[PATCH 0/2 v2] userns: show current values of user namespace counters

From: Andrei Vagin
Date: Mon Aug 15 2016 - 16:10:34 EST


Recently Eric added user namespace counters. User namespace counters is
a feature that allows to limit the number of various kernel objects a
user can create. These limits are set via /proc/sys/user/ sysctls on a
per user namespace basis and are applicable to all users in that
namespace.

User namespace counters are not in the upstream tree yet,
you can find them in Eric's tree:
https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/ebiederm/user-namespace.git/log/?h=for-testing

This patch adds /proc/<pid>/userns_counts files to provide current usage
of user namespace counters.

> cat /proc/813/userns_counts
user_namespaces 101000 1
pid_namespaces 101000 1
ipc_namespaces 101000 4
net_namespaces 101000 2
mnt_namespaces 101000 5
mnt_namespaces 100000 1

The meanings of the columns are as follows, from left to right:

Name Object name
UID User ID
Usage Current usage

The full documentation is in the second patch.

v2: - describe this file in Documentation/filesystems/proc.txt
- move and rename into /proc/<pid>/userns_counts
