From: Miklos Szeredi <mszeredi@suse.cz>
If CLONE_NEWNS and CLONE_NEWNS_USERMNT are given to clone(2) or
unshare(2), then allow user mounts within the new namespace.
This is not flexible enough, because user mounts can't be enabled for
the initial namespace.
The remaining clone bits also getting dangerously few...
Alternatives are:
- prctl() flag
- setting through the containers filesystem
