Subject: [PATCH 15/15] sysfs: user namespaces: fix bug with clone(CLONE_NEWUSER) with fairsched

From: [email-masked] (Eric W. Biederman)
Date: Thu, 03 Jul 2008 18:23:35 -0700

Mark the /sys/kernel/uids directory to be tagged so that processes in
different user namespaces can remount /sys and see their own uid
listings.

Without this patch, having CONFIG_FAIR_SCHED=y makes user namespaces
unusable, because when you
  clone(CLONE_NEWUSER)
it will auto-create the root userid and try to create
/sys/kernel/uids/0.  Since that already exists from the parent user
namespace, the create fails, and the clone misleadingly ends up
returning -ENOMEM.

This patch fixes the issue by allowing each user namespace to remount
/sys, and having /sys filter the /sys/kernel/uid/ entries by user
namespace.

Changelong:
v2 - Reworked for the updated sysfs api
