The test prog dumps a single AF_UNIX socket's UID with and without unshare(CLONE_NEWUSER) and checks if it matches the result of getuid(). Without the preceding patch, the test prog is killed by a NULL deref in sk_diag_dump_uid(). # ./diag_uid TAP version 13 1..2 # Starting 2 tests from 3 test cases. # RUN diag_uid.uid.1 ...

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
