Revert "proc: Point /proc/{mounts,net} at /proc/thread-self/{mounts,net} instead of /proc/self/{mounts,net}" This reverts commits 344470ca and e8132440. It turns out that the exact path in the symlink matters, if for somewhat unfortunate reasons: some apparmor configurations don't allow dhclient access to the per-thread /proc files. As reported by Jörg Otte: audit: type=1400 audit(1407684227.003:28): apparmor="DENIED" operation="open" profile="/sbin/dhclient" name="/proc/1540/task/1540/net/dev" pid=1540 comm="dhclient" requested_mask="r" denied_mask="r" fsuid=0 ouid=0 so we had better revert this for now. We might be able to work around this in practice by only using the per-thread symlinks if the thread isn't the thread group leader, and if the namespaces differ between threads (which basically never happens). We'll see. In the meantime, the revert was made to be intentionally easy. Reported-by: Jörg Otte <jrg.otte@gmail.com> Acked-by: Eric W.
