  • This file is a bit funny. The goal here is to use setns() to manipulate
  • files inside the container, so we don't have to reason about the paths to
  • make sure they don't escape (we can simply rely on the kernel for
  • correctness). Unfortunately, you can't setns() to a mount namespace with a
  • multi-threaded program, which every golang binary is. However, by declaring
  • our init as an initializer, we can capture process control before it is
  • transferred to the golang runtime, so we can then setns() as we'd like
  • before golang has a chance to set up any threads. So, we implement two new
  • lxd fork* commands which are captured here, and take a file on the host fs
  • and copy it into the container ns. *
  • An alternative to this would be to move this code into a separate binary,
  • which of course has problems of its own when it comes to packaging (how do
  • we find the binary, what do we do if someone does file push and it is
  • missing, etc.). After some discussion, even though the embedded method is
  • somewhat convoluted, it was preferred.
