+Subject: [PATCH] Set init processes as non-dumpable
+
+This sets the init processes that join and setup the container's
+namespaces as non-dumpable before they setns to the container's pid (or
+any other ) namespace.
+
+This settings is automatically reset to the default after the Exec in
+the container so that it does not change functionality for the
+applications that are running inside, just our init processes.
+
+This prevents parent processes, the pid 1 of the container, to ptrace
+the init process before it drops caps and other sets LSMs.
+
+This patch also ensures that the stateDirFD being used is still closed
+prior to exec, even though it is set as O_CLOEXEC, because of the order
+in the kernel.
+
+https://github.com/torvalds/linux/blob/v4.9/fs/exec.c#L1290-L1318
+
+The order during the exec syscall is that the process is set back to
+dumpable before O_CLOEXEC are processed.
