[LTP] [PATCH STAGING v2 15/16] fchroot12: test failfs entry with shared fs_struct

[Andrea Cervesato]

From: Andrea Cervesato <andrea.cervesato@suse.com>

Verify that unprivileged fchroot() into failfs is refused with a
shared fs_struct: a CLONE_FS sibling without no_new_privs could
execute a setuid binary with the failfs root, so entry requires
fs->users == 1, the same restriction setns() applies for the mount
namespace. The sibling bumps fs->users to 2, making the syscall fail
with EINVAL.
