In 99.99% of the cases only root in a user namespace can mount /dev/pts and in those cases the owner of /dev/pts/ptmx will remain root.root In the oddball case where someone else has CAP_SYS_ADMIN this code modifies the /dev/pts mount code to use current_fsuid and current_fsgid as the values to use when creating the /dev/ptmx inode. As is done when any other file is created. This is a code simplification, and it allows running without a root user entirely. Signed-off-by: "Eric W.
