Their use +has been limited due to namespace manipulation +being considered a privileged operation. +Giving users and applications the ability to +create private namespaces as well as the +ability to mount and bind resources is the key +to unlocking the full potential of this +technology. There are serious performance, +security and stability issues involved with +user-controlled dynamic private namespaces in +Linux. This paper will propose a mechanism for +maintaining system integrity while unlocking +the power of dynamic namespaces for normal +users. It will go on to discuss relevant +potential applications of this technology +including its use with FUSE (Filesystem in +Userspace), v9fs (the Linux port of the Plan 9 +resource sharing protocol) and Plan 9 from +User Space (the Plan 9 application suite +including userspace synthetic file servers +ported to UNIX variants). + + + |
