Hi
I have problem with starting lxc containers when SMACK is enabled
on the host. The issue appears when systemd try start user session in
the container. In such case systemd reports error that has not
permissions to set SMACK label. In my test configuration lxc container
has full separation (all namespaces are enabled - including user namespace).
The issue is common. The problem is due to lack of permissions of
the task to write into /proc/self/sttr/current file even the task has
active CAP_MAC_ADMIN capability. Regarding to may tests the issue is
connected to user namespace.
I have prepared patch (see below). The patch was tested and created
on kernel 3.10.

Subject: [PATCH] [PATCH] Enable user namespace in SMACK
SMACK: Enable user namespace
- Bug/Issue:
The issue has been found when we tried to setup lxc container.
We tried to setup the container with active all linux namespaces
(including user namespace). On the host as LSM was enabled SMACK.
We have found that "systemd" was not able to setup user sessiondue
to lack of permissions to write into /proc/self/attr/currentfile.
We have found general issue that any privileged process with
enabled CAP_MAC_ADMIN cannot write into /proc/self/attr/currentfile.
- Cause:
SMACK to check the task capabilities uses capable().
- Solution:
The fix replaces usage capable() by ns_capable().
Becuase SMACK uses globally defined rules usage ns_capable()
was limited to places where requested by task operation
are connected to himself. All operation that modify global SMACK
rules remain unchanged - SMACK still to test capabilities
calls capable(). It means that operation on smackfs remain
unchanged - operation are allowed only by host.
