Subject: [RFC][v5][PATCH 7/8]: Define do_fork_with_pids()
Date: Mon, 7 Sep 2009 14:16:20 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20090907211620.GG6685@us.ibm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20090907211302.GA5892@us.ibm.com>



Subject: [RFC][v5][PATCH 7/8]: Define do_fork_with_pids()

do_fork_with_pids() is same as do_fork(), except that it takes an
additional, 'pid_set', parameter. This parameter, currently unused,
specifies the set of target pids of the process in each of its pid
namespaces.

Changelog[v4]:
	- Rename 'struct target_pid_set' to 'struct pid_set' since it may
	  be useful in other contexts.
Changelog[v3]:
	- Fix "long-line" warning from checkpatch.pl

Changelog[v2]:
	- To facilitate moving architecture-inpdendent code to kernel/fork.c
	  pass in 'struct target_pid_set __user *' to do_fork_with_pids()
	  rather than 'pid_t *' (next patch moves the arch-independent
	  code to kernel/fork.c)
