This adds an ensure_safe_net_sysctl() check during register_net_sysctl()
to validate that sysctl table entries for a non-init_net netns are
sufficiently isolated. To be netns-safe, an entry must adhere to at
least (and usually exactly) one of these rules:
1. It is marked read-only inside the netns.
2. Its data pointer does not point to kernel/module global data.
An entry which fails both of these checks is indicative of a bug,
whereby a child netns can affect global net sysctl values.
If such an entry is found, this code will issue a warning to the kernel
log, and force the entry to be read-only to prevent a leak.
To test, simply create a new netns:
$ sudo ip netns add dummy
As it sits now, this patch will WARN for two sysctls which will be
addressed in a subsequent patch:
- /proc/sys/net/netfilter/nf_conntrack_max
- /proc/sys/net/netfilter/nf_conntrack_expect_max

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
