[PATCH v13 13/26] userns: Add pointer to ima_namespace to user_namespace

Thu Jul 7 14:47:47 UTC 2022


Add a pointer to ima_namespace to the user_namespace and initialize
the init_user_ns with a pointer to init_ima_ns. We need a pointer from
the user namespace to its associated IMA namespace since IMA namespaces
are piggybacking on user namespaces.

   following Serge's suggestion

v11:
 - Added lost A-b from Christian back
 - Added sentence to patch description explaining why we need the pointer

v9:
 - Deferred implementation of ima_ns_from_user_ns() to later patch
