Subject: pidns: kill the unnecessary CLONE_NEWPID in copy_process()
X-Git-Tag: upstream/snapshot3+hdmi~4342^2~300
X-Git-Url: http://review.tizen.org/git/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=5167246a8ad617df55717c2d901da5e2aedffcfa;p=platform%2Fadaptation%2Frenesas_rcar%2Frenesas_kernel.git

pidns: kill the unnecessary CLONE_NEWPID in copy_process()

Commit 8382fcac1b81 ("pidns: Outlaw thread creation after
unshare(CLONE_NEWPID)") nacks CLONE_NEWPID if the forking process
unshared pid_ns.  This is correct but unnecessary, copy_pid_ns() does
the same check.

Remove the CLONE_NEWPID check to cleanup the code and prepare for the
next change.

Test-case:

	static int child(void *arg)
	{
		return 0;
	}

	static char stack[16 * 1024];

	int main(void)
	{
		pid_t pid;

		assert(unshare(CLONE_NEWUSER | CLONE_NEWPID) == 0);

		pid = clone(child, stack + sizeof(stack) / 2,
				CLONE_NEWPID | SIGCHLD, NULL);
		assert(pid < 0 && errno == EINVAL);

		return 0;
	}

clone(CLONE_NEWPID) correctly fails with or without this change.
