Handle userns isolation and dropping root at the same time passt/pasta can interact with user namespaces in a number of ways: 1) With --netns-only we'll remain in our original user namespace 2) With --userns or a PID option to pasta we'll join either the given user namespace or that of the PID 3) When pasta spawns a shell or command we'll start a new user namespace for the command and then join it 4) With passt we'll create a new user namespace when we sandbox() ourself However (3) and (4) turn out to have essentially the same effect. In both cases we create one new user namespace. The spawned command starts there, and passt/pasta itself will live there from sandbox() onwards. Because of this, we can simplify user namespace handling by moving the userns handling earlier, to the same point we drop root in the original namespace. Extend the drop_user() function to isolate_user() which does both. After switching UID and GID in the original userns, isolate_user() will either join or create the userns we require. When we spawn a command with pasta_start_ns()/pasta_setup_ns() we no longer need to create a userns, because we're already made one. sandbox() likewise no longer needs to create (or join) an userns because we're already in the one we need. We no longer need c->pasta_userns_fd, since the fd is only used locally in isolate_user(). Likewise we can replace c->netns_only with a local in conf(), since it's not used outside there.

void pasta_open_ns(struct ctx *c, const char *netns);
isolation: Only configure UID/GID mappings in userns when spawning shell When in passt mode, or pasta mode spawning a command, we create a userns for ourselves. This is used both to isolate the pasta/passt process itself and to run the spawned command, if any. Since eed17a47 "Handle userns isolation and dropping root at the same time" we've handled both cases the same, configuring the UID and GID mappings in the new userns to map whichever UID we're running as to root within the userns. This mapping is desirable when spawning a shell or other command, so that the user gets a root shell with reasonably clear abilities within the userns and netns. It's not necessarily essential, though. When not spawning a shell, it doesn't really have any purpose: passt itself doesn't need to be root and can operate fine with an unmapped user (using some of the capabilities we get when entering the userns instead). Configuring the uid_map can cause problems if passt is running with any capabilities in the initial namespace, such as CAP_NET_BIND_SERVICE to allow it to forward low ports. In this case the kernel makes files in /proc/pid owned by root rather than the starting user to prevent the user from interfering with the operation of the capability-enhanced process. This includes uid_map meaning we are not able to write to it. Whether this behaviour is correct in the kernel is debatable, but in any case we might as well avoid problems by only initializing the user mappings when we really want them.
