* rootless: automatically split userns rangesGiuseppe Scrivano2021-01-07
writing to the id map fails when an extent overlaps multiple mappings in the parent user namespace: $ cat /proc/self/uid_map 0 1000 1 1 100000 65536 $ unshare -U sleep 100 & [1] 1029703 $ printf "0 0 100\n" | tee /proc/$!/uid_map 0 0 100 tee: /proc/1029703/uid_map: Operation not permitted This limitation is particularly annoying when working with rootless containers as each container runs in the rootless user namespace, so a command like: $ podman run --uidmap 0:0:2 --rm fedora echo hi Error: writing file `/proc/664087/gid_map`: Operation not permitted: OCI permission denied would fail since the specified mapping overlaps the first mapping (where the user id is mapped to root) and the second extent with the additional IDs available. Detect such cases and automatically split the specified mapping with the equivalent of: $ podman run --uidmap 0:0:1 --uidmap 1:1:1 --rm fedora echo hi hi A fix has already been proposed for the kernel[1], but even if it accepted it will take time until it is available in a released kernel, so fix it also in pkg/rootless.
