Do not unmount anything by default in pam_namespace close session call.
* modules/pam_namespace/pam_namespace.c (pam_sm_close_session): Recognize the unmount_on_close option and make the default to be to not unmount. * modules/pam_namespace/pam_namespace.h: Rename PAMNS_NO_UNMOUNT_ON_CLOSE to PAMNS_UNMOUNT_ON_CLOSE. * modules/pam_namespace/pam_namespace.8.xml: Document the change.

- For certain trusted programs such as newrole, open session
- is called from a child process while the parent performs
- close session and pam end functions. For these commands
- use this option to instruct pam_close_session to not
- unmount the bind mounted polyinstantiated directory in the
- parent.
+ Explicitly unmount the polyinstantiated directories instead
+ of relying on automatic namespace destruction after the last
+ process in a namespace exits. This option should be used
+ only in case it is ensured by other means that there cannot be
+ any processes running in the private namespace left after the
+ session close. It is also useful only in case there are
+ multiple pam session calls in sequence from the same process.
