Subject: userns: allow killing tasks in your own or child userns
X-Git-Url: http://git.lede-project.org./?a=commitdiff_plain;h=39fd33933b0209e4b6254743f2cede07c5ad4c52;p=openwrt%2Fstaging%2Fblogic.git

userns: allow killing tasks in your own or child userns

Changelog:
	Dec  8: Fixed bug in my check_kill_permission pointed out by
	        Eric Biederman.
	Dec 13: Apply Eric's suggestion to pass target task into kill_ok_by_cred()
	        for clarity
	Dec 31: address comment by Eric Biederman:
		don't need cred/tcred in check_kill_permission.
	Jan  1: use const cred struct.
	Jan 11: Per Bastian Blank's advice, clean up kill_ok_by_cred().
	Feb 16: kill_ok_by_cred: fix bad parentheses
	Feb 23: per akpm, let compiler inline kill_ok_by_cred
