Bug#841026: Pull: "userns: proc and sysfs mount fix"
Package: linux-image-3.16.0-4-amd64
Version: 3.16.7-ckt17-1
The upload to jessie of linux 3.16.7-ckt17-1 included the following
change:
- mnt: Refactor the logic for mounting sysfs and proc in a user
namespace [1]
This broke mounting sysfs and procfs under a user namespace. There is a
fix at [2] that claims to solve the problem.
It would be great if this fix could be included in the next upload to
jessie.
Sadly, I haven't had time to run on my machine a kernel that includes
that fix. I do know, however, that the problem is still present in
3.16.36-1+deb8u1.
Thanks for considering,
-d
