BPF list, first CC: here, I hope the commit messages are clear enough to
understand the purpose of the patchset. If not, your comments would be
greatly appreciated so I can make the commit messages self-explanatory.

Eric, what would be the right identifier to use for a specific user
namespace that userspace could find out? I know the PIDs of the
bubblewrap processes that created those user namespaces, would those be
good enough?

Changes since v2:
- Changed the internal API to pass a struct usb_device
- Fixed potential busy loop in user-space when revoking access to a
  device

You say "changes since v2", but have no version identifier on this
series at all :(

It was sent as "RFC v2" under the same name. This is v3.

Sorry, but this will probably keep happening until the tools folks have
to use for kernel development aren't as clunky as they are now...

It's an editor, you can get them to do anything you want to do, they are
not clunky...

A namespace file descriptor would work. AKA The result of
opening /proc/<pid>/ns/user.

I assume you are asking so that you can filter the set of file
descriptors to revoked not by user but by user namespace.
