Changelog:

	- Addressed Oleg Nesterov's comments on [V1] of this patchset.

[PATCH 1/5] [V2] Define and use task_active_pid_ns() wrapper

[sukadev]

Subject: [PATCH 1/5] Define and use task_active_pid_ns() wrapper

From: Sukadev Bhattiprolu <sukadev@us.ibm.com>

With multiple pid namespaces, a process is known by some pid_t in
every ancestor pid namespace.  Every time the process forks, the
child process also gets a pid_t in every ancestor pid namespace.

While a process is visible in >=1 pid namespaces, it can see pid_t's
in only one pid namespace.  We call this pid namespace it's "active
pid namespace", and it is always the youngest pid namespace in which
the process is known.

This patch defines and uses a wrapper to find the active pid namespace
of a process. The implementation of the wrapper will be changed in 
when support for multiple pid namespaces are added.

Changelog:
	2.6.22-rc4-mm2-pidns1:
	- [Pavel Emelianov, Alexey Dobriyan] Back out the change to use
	  task_active_pid_ns() in child_reaper() since task->nsproxy
	  can be NULL during task exit (so child_reaper() continues to
	  use init_pid_ns).

	  to implement child_reaper() since init_pid_ns.child_reaper to
	  implement child_reaper() since tsk->nsproxy can be NULL during exit.

	2.6.21-rc6-mm1:
	- Rename task_pid_ns() to task_active_pid_ns() to reflect that a
	  process can have multiple pid namespaces.

Subject: [PATCH 2/5] Rename child_reaper function.

From: Sukadev Bhattiprolu <sukadev@us.ibm.com>


Rename the child_reaper() function to task_child_reaper() to be
similar to other task_* functions and to distinguish the function
from 'struct pid_namspace.child_reaper'.

[PATCH 4/5] [V2] Define is_global_init() and is_container_init()

[sukadev]

Subject: [PATCH 4/5] Define is_global_init() and is_container_init().

From: Serge E. Hallyn <serue@us.ibm.com>


is_init() is an ambiguous name for the pid==1 check.  Split it into
is_global_init() and is_container_init().

A container init has it's tsk->pid == 1.

A global init also has it's tsk->pid == 1 and it's active pid namespace
is the init_pid_ns.  But rather than check the active pid namespace,
compare the task structure with 'init_pid_ns.child_reaper', which is
initialized during boot to the /sbin/init process and never changes.

Changelog:

	2.6.22-rc4-mm2-pidns1:
	- Use 'init_pid_ns.child_reaper' to determine if a given task is the
	  global init (/sbin/init) process. This would improve performance
	  and remove dependence on the task_pid().

	2.6.21-mm2-pidns2:

	- [Sukadev Bhattiprolu] Changed is_container_init() calls in {powerpc,
	  ppc,avr32}/traps.c for the _exception() call to is_global_init().
	  This way, we kill only the container if the container's init has a
	  bug rather than force a kernel panic.

[PATCH 5/5] [V2] Move alloc_pid() to copy_process()

[sukadev]

Subject: [PATCH 5/5] Move alloc_pid call to copy_process

From: Sukadev Bhattiprolu <sukadev@us.ibm.com>

Move alloc_pid() into copy_process(). This will keep all pid and pid
namespace code together and simplify error handling when we support
multiple pid namespaces.

I would add smth like this to the comment:

When a task creates a new pid namespace, its init (i.e. this task's
child) will have pids with extra info inside - the new numerical id,
that represent this new task in this new namespace. Thus, we have 
to allocate this new pid only after the namespace creation to find 
out which namespace this pid will live in.

Hope, I expressed my idea cleanly.

I don't immediately see why init_pid_ns was exported to modules.

It would need to be exported if is_global_init() was made static inline in a
header (which seems like a sensible thing to do), but it wasn't.

It did not need to be exported in this patch.

I have a couple of follow-on patches that cleaned up some header-file
dependencies and made is_global_init() inline. Those patches are
changing a bit as I merge them with Pavel Emelianov's pid ns changes.

I will send a separate patch to inline is_global_init().
