Subject: [PATCH RFC v3 70/90] seccomp: let a listener put no file into a cell
Date: Thu, 05 Nov 2026 15:03:02 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261105-b4-cells-v3-70-bc9095937a84@toxicpanda.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261105-b4-cells-v3-0-bc9095937a84@toxicpanda.com>
Seccomp filters are inherited by tasks that are spawned into a cell. That
is intentional. The listener of a filter that uses SECCOMP_RET_USER_NOTIF
stays outside of the cell, with the spawner or with whoever confined the
spawner.
SECCOMP_IOCTL_NOTIF_ADDFD lets the listener install any file that it holds
into the task that is waiting for an answer. But once a task of a cell has
started, no file should cross the boundary. The files that
pidfd_configure() refuses to place, such as a cellfd, a namespace file or
an io_uring of the host, could be installed this way a moment later.
Fail the ioctl with EPERM if the task is in a different cell than the
caller. The listener can still answer the system calls of the task.
