Subject: vfs: Don't allow a user namespace root to make device nodes
X-Git-Url: https://git.stricted.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=975d6b3932d43b87a48d2107264ed0c9a7541d8d;p=GitHub%2FLineageOS%2Fandroid_kernel_motorola_exynos9610.git

vfs: Don't allow a user namespace root to make device nodes

Safely making device nodes in a container is solvable but simply
having the capability in a user namespace is not sufficient to make
this work.
