Subject: Re: [PATCH review 5/6] userns: Allow the userns root to mount ramfs.
Date: Sun, 27 Jan 2013 18:23:28 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20130127182328.GB338@mail.hallyn.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <87ip6khe7w.fsf@xmission.com>

Quoting Eric W. Biederman (ebiederm@xmission.com):
> 
> There is no backing store to ramfs and file creation
> rules are the same as for any other filesystem so
> it is semantically safe to allow unprivileged users
> to mount it.
> 
> The memory control group successfully limits how much
> memory ramfs can consume on any system that cares about
> a user namespace root using ramfs to exhaust memory
> the memory control group can be deployed.
