For example:
Implement support for optional sandboxing
Implement support for setting up a sandbox for running the
service. The technique for this has been borrowed from virtiofsd, and
consists on switching to new PID, mount and network namespaces, and
then switching root to the directory to be shared.
Future patches will implement additional hardening features like
dropping capabilities and seccomp filters.
