So from this it sounds like all the other types of namespaces (net, pid, mount...) are "owned" by a user namespace (the one in which they were created). When a permission check is done, it is done using the user namespace that owns that namespace that the relevant resource is in - for example, when I try to bind a privileged port, the permission check is done using the user namespace that owns the current network namespace (not the user namespace of the current process, which might well be different). Does that sound like the right concept?
