^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 11) This file contains the documentation for the sysctl files in
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 12) /proc/sys/user.
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 13)
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 14) The files in this directory can be used to override the default
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 15) limits on the number of namespaces and other objects that have
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 16) per user per user namespace limits.
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 17)
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 18) The primary purpose of these limits is to stop programs that
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 19) malfunction and attempt to create a ridiculous number of objects,
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 20) before the malfunction becomes a system wide problem. It is the
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 21) intention that the defaults of these limits are set high enough that
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 22) no program in normal operation should run into these limits.
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 23)
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 24) The creation of per user per user namespace objects are charged to
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 25) the user in the user namespace who created the object and
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 26) verified to be below the per user limit in that user namespace.
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 27)
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 28) The creation of objects is also charged to all of the users
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 29) who created user namespaces the creation of the object happens
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 30) in (user namespaces can be nested) and verified to be below the per user
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 31) limits in the user namespaces of those users.
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 32)
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 33) This recursive counting of created objects ensures that creating a
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 34) user namespace does not allow a user to escape their current limits.
