Subject: [PATCH 3/3] vhost: pass kthread user to check RLIMIT_NPROC
Date: Wed, 23 Jun 2021 22:08:04 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20210624030804.4932-4-michael.christie@oracle.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20210624030804.4932-1-michael.christie@oracle.com>

This has vhost pass in the user to the kthread API, so the process doing
the ioctl has its RLIMIT_NPROC checked and its processes count
incremented.
