Subject: Re: [PATCH v2 00/10] userns: sysctl limits for namespaces
Date: Tue, 26 Jul 2016 12:30:10 +0200	[thread overview]

Hello Eric,

I realized I had a question after the last mail.

Can you say more about the second point? What exactly is the
problem that is being addressed, and how does the patch series
address it? (It would be good to have those details in the
revised commit message...)

Cheers,

Michael
