Currently, cgroup only supports delegation to !root users and cgroup namespaces don't get any special treatments. This limits the usefulness of cgroup namespaces as they by themselves can't be safe delegation boundaries. A process inside a cgroup can change the resource control knobs of the parent in the namespace root and may move processes in and out of the namespace if cgroups outside its namespace are visible somehow. This patch adds a new mount option "nsdelegate" which makes cgroup namespaces delegation boundaries. If set, cgroup behaves as if write permission based delegation took place at namespace boundaries - writes to the resource control knobs from the namespace root are denied and migration crossing the namespace boundary aren't allowed from inside the namespace. This allows cgroup namespace to function as a delegation boundary by itself. v2: Silently ignore nsdelegate specified on !init mounts.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
