2015-11-06pidns: fix set/getpriority and ioprio_set/get in PRIO_USER modeBen Segall
setpriority(PRIO_USER, 0, x) will change the priority of tasks outside of the current pid namespace. This is in contrast to both the other modes of setpriority and the example of kill(-1). Fix this. getpriority and ioprio have the same failure mode, fix them too. Eric said: : After some more thinking about it this patch sounds justifiable. : : My goal with namespaces is not to build perfect isolation mechanisms : as that can get into ill defined territory, but to build well defined : mechanisms. And to handle the corner cases so you can use only : a single namespace with well defined results. : : In this case you have found the two interfaces I am aware of that : identify processes by uid instead of by pid. Which quite frankly is : weird. Unfortunately the weird unexpected cases are hard to handle : in the usual way. : : I was hoping for a little more information. Changes like this one we : have to be careful of because someone might be depending on the current : behavior. I don't think they are and I do think this make sense as part : of the pid namespace.

2014-10-31block: Fix computation of merged request priorityJan Kara
Priority of a merged request is computed by ioprio_best(). If one of the requests has undefined priority (IOPRIO_CLASS_NONE) and another request has priority from IOPRIO_CLASS_BE, the function will return the undefined priority which is wrong. Fix the function to properly return priority of a request with the defined priority.
