[Devel] [PATCH 2/3] Switch UTS namespace to use shadows

[Pavel Emelyanov]

The uts sysctl table contains two writable fields
(domainname and nodename), so split the table into
common (read-only) part and writable (shadowed).

This fixes the BUG! You may create a namespace and
then writing to /proc/sys/hostname will cause an
init_uts_ns overwrite.
