fuse-userns-patches's Introduction

Kernel patches for non-init user namespace on FUSE filesystem

How to apply

$ git clone [email protected]:kinvolk/fuse-userns-patches.git

$ git clone https://kernel.googlesource.com/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux-stable
$ pushd linux-stable
$ git checkout v4.15-rc1
$ git am ../fuse-userns-patches/patches/00*.patch

How to send patches to kernel mailing lists

Let's assume that the all the required configurations are done in git config, and all the recipients are correctly set in individual patches as well.

$ git send-email \
  --thread \
  --from="Dongsu Park <[email protected]>" \
  [email protected] \
  [email protected] \
  --cc="Alban Crequy <[email protected]>" \
  --cc="Dongsu Park <[email protected]>" \
  --cc="Eric W. Biederman <[email protected]>" \
  --cc="Miklos Szeredi <[email protected]>" \
  --cc="Seth Forshee <[email protected]>" \
  --bcc="Dongsu Park <[email protected]>" \
  patches/00*.patch

Cover letter

Cover letter is available: ./patches/0000-cover-letter.patch

How to generate a cover letter

Assuming that there are 12 patches on top of the upstream master, (e.g. v4.15-rc1), generate patches from the kernel git repo:

$ git format-patch -12 --cover-letter --subject-prefix="PATCH v6"

Then the cover letter 0000-cover-letter.patch will be generated.

Upstreaming?

Hi, I'm researching the possibility of CentOS supporting fuse in user namespaces and was wondering if the goal of this repo was to upstream into the linux kernel? If so, woohoo!

Patch set checklist

Patch set checklist:

Each patch has a "From" line in the commit message
Contain a description of the tests
List of remaining TODO in the cover letter
Link to previous version v4 on patchwork
"Changes since v4"
"This patchset is based on work by..." could be a the top, as introduction
Include a pointer to a git repo. I suggest to name the branch "dongsu/fuse-userns-v5-1" and not updating the branch once published
Remove patches unrelated to fuse: patch 12 (fuse does not use block device)
