5*4882a593SmuzhiyunThere are a lot of kinds of objects in the kernel that don't have
6*4882a593Smuzhiyunindividual limits or that have limits that are ineffective when a set
7*4882a593Smuzhiyunof processes is allowed to switch user ids.  With user namespaces
8*4882a593Smuzhiyunenabled in a kernel for people who don't trust their users or their
9*4882a593Smuzhiyunusers programs to play nice this problems becomes more acute.
10*4882a593Smuzhiyun
11*4882a593SmuzhiyunTherefore it is recommended that memory control groups be enabled in
12*4882a593Smuzhiyunkernels that enable user namespaces, and it is further recommended
13*4882a593Smuzhiyunthat userspace configure memory control groups to limit how much
14*4882a593Smuzhiyunmemory user's they don't trust to play nice can use.
15*4882a593Smuzhiyun
16*4882a593SmuzhiyunMemory control groups can be configured by installing the libcgroup
17*4882a593Smuzhiyunpackage present on most distros editing /etc/cgrules.conf,
18*4882a593Smuzhiyun/etc/cgconfig.conf and setting up libpam-cgroup.
