SubjectRe: [PATCH review 5/6] userns: Allow the userns root to mount ramfs.
Quoting Eric W. Biederman (ebiederm@xmission.com):
>
> There is no backing store to ramfs and file creation
> rules are the same as for any other filesystem so
> it is semantically safe to allow unprivileged users
> to mount it.
>
> The memory control group successfully limits how much
> memory ramfs can consume on any system that cares about
> a user namespace root using ramfs to exhaust memory
> the memory control group can be deployed.
