Subject: NULL pointer deref in put_fs_context with unprivileged LXC
Date: Thu, 10 Oct 2019 23:35:12 +0200	[thread overview]

Since v5.1 and as of v5.3.5, I get the following oops every single time
I start an *unprivileged* LXC container:

I don't face this issue when starting the same container as a
privileged one. I tried to strace the container when launched in
foreground and the following snippet may be related to the problem:

I've been trying to reproduce by playing with user namespaces and
cgroup2 mounts but I didn't succeed. Only an lxc-start of an
unprivileged container causes an oops (every single time). I wanted to
dive into the code but I hadn't looked at this part of the kernel since
the recent rework of file system mounting internals, thus I've been
postponing that for weeks now and I thought it was time to report the
bug anyway. Sorry for the lack of more detailed info :/
