    pid namespaces: allow cloning of new namespace · 30e49c26
    Pavel Emelyanov 提交于
    When clone() is invoked with CLONE_NEWPID, create a new pid namespace and then
    create a new struct pid for the new process.  Allocate pid_t's for the new
    process in the new pid namespace and all ancestor pid namespaces.  Make the
    newly cloned process the session and process group leader.
    
    Since the active pid namespace is special and expected to be the first entry
    in pid->upid_list, preserve the order of pid namespaces.
    
    The size of 'struct pid' is dependent on the the number of pid namespaces the
    process exists in, so we use multiple pid-caches'.  Only one pid cache is
    created during system startup and this used by processes that exist only in
    init_pid_ns.
    
    When a process clones its pid namespace, we create additional pid caches as
    necessary and use the pid cache to allocate 'struct pids' for that depth.
    
    Note, that with this patch the newly created namespace won't work, since the
    rest of the kernel still uses global pids, but this is to be fixed soon.  Init
    pid namespace still works.
