The patch has been sitting in my for-next branch for quite a while just waiting for the merge window. Eric commit 923c7538236564c46ee80c253a416705321f13e3 Author: Li Zefan <[email protected]> Date: Thu Dec 27 11:39:12 2012 +0800 userns: Allow unprivileged reboot In a container with its own pid namespace and user namespace, rebooting the system won't reboot the host, but terminate all the processes in it and thus have the container shutdown, so it's safe.
