Perhaps I'm not correctly understanding what you are trying to do with this patchset, but my current understanding is that you are trying to use capcontid to control which child audit container IDs (ACIDs) are allowed to manage their own ACIDs. Further, I believe that the capcontid setting operates at a per-ACID level, meaning there is no provision for the associated container to further restrict that ability, i.e. no access control granularity below the ACID level. My thinking is that ns_capable(CAP_AUDIT_CONTROL) could be used within an ACID to increase the granularity of the access controls so that only privileged processes running inside the ACID would be able to manage the ACIDs.
