      [NET]: Make /proc/net a symlink on /proc/self/net (v3) · e9720acd
      Pavel Emelyanov authored
      Current /proc/net is done with so called "shadows", but current
      implementation is broken and has little chances to get fixed.
      
      The problem is that dentries subtree of /proc/net directory has
      fancy revalidation rules to make processes living in different
      net namespaces see different entries in /proc/net subtree, but
      currently, tasks see in the /proc/net subdir the contents of any
      other namespace, depending on who opened the file first.
      
      The proposed fix is to turn /proc/net into a symlink, which points
      to /proc/self/net, which in turn shows what previously was in
      /proc/net - the network-related info, from the net namespace the
      appropriate task lives in.
      
      # ls -l /proc/net
      lrwxrwxrwx  1 root root 8 Mar  5 15:17 /proc/net -> self/net
      
      In other words - this behaves like /proc/mounts, but unlike
      "mounts", "net" is not a file, but a directory.
      
      Changes from v2:
      * Fixed discrepancy of /proc/net nlink count and selinux labeling
        screwup pointed out by Stephen.
      
        To get the correct nlink count the ->getattr callback for /proc/net
        is overridden to read one from the net->proc_net entry.
      
        To make selinux still work the net->proc_net entry is initialized
        properly, i.e. with the "net" name and the proc_net parent.
      
      Selinux fixes are
