Merge branch 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/ebiederm/user-namespace

Pull user namespace and namespace infrastructure changes from Eric W Biederman:
 "This set of changes starts with a few small enhnacements to the user
  namespace.  reboot support, allowing more arbitrary mappings, and
  support for mounting devpts, ramfs, tmpfs, and mqueuefs as just the
  user namespace root.

  I do my best to document that if you care about limiting your
  unprivileged users that when you have the user namespace support
  enabled you will need to enable memory control groups.

  There is a minor bug fix to prevent overflowing the stack if someone
  creates way too many user namespaces.

  The bulk of the changes are a continuation of the kuid/kgid push down
  work through the filesystems.  These changes make using uids and gids
  typesafe which ensures that these filesystems are safe to use when
  multiple user namespaces are in use.  The filesystems converted for
  3.9 are ceph, 9p, afs, ocfs2, gfs2, ncpfs, nfs, nfsd, and cifs.  The
  changes for these filesystems were a little more involved so I split
  the changes into smaller hopefully obviously correct changes.

  XFS is the only filesystem that remains.  I was hoping I could get
  that in this release so that user namespace support would be enabled
  with an allyesconfig or an allmodconfig but it looks like the xfs
  changes need another couple of days before it they are ready."

+There are a lot of kinds of objects in the kernel that don't have
+individual limits or that have limits that are ineffective when a set
+of processes is allowed to switch user ids.  With user namespaces
+enabled in a kernel for people who don't trust their users or their
+users programs to play nice this problems becomes more acute.
+
+Therefore it is recommended that memory control groups be enabled in
+kernels that enable user namespaces, and it is further recommended
+that userspace configure memory control groups to limit how much
+memory user's they don't trust to play nice can use.
+
+Memory control groups can be configured by installing the libcgroup
+package present on most distros editing /etc/cgrules.conf,
+/etc/cgconfig.conf and setting up libpam-cgroup.
