From faacbfd3a6808bf87d8f353b42eceeaba2c78a47 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Pavel Emelyanov Date: Thu, 18 Oct 2007 23:40:04 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] pid namespaces: add support for pid namespaces hierarchy Each namespace has a parent and is characterized by its "level". Level is the number of the namespace generation. E.g. init namespace has level 0, after cloning new one it will have level 1, the next one - 2 and so on and so forth. This level is not explicitly limited. True hierarchy must have some way to find each namespace's children, but it is not used in the patches, so this ability is not added (yet).
