# A recurring problem with user namespaces is that there are
# still code paths where the kernel's permission checking logic
# fails to account for namespacing, instead permitting a
# namespaced process to act outside the namespace with the
# same privileges as it would have inside it. This is particularly
# bad in the common case of running as root within the namespace.
#
# Setting the number of allowed userns to 0 effectively disables
# the feature at runtime. Attempting to create a user namespace
# with unshare will then fail with "no space left on device".
