[RFC][patch 17/21] PID Virtualization: /proc/container filesystem

From: Hubertus Franke
Date: Thu Dec 15 2005 - 09:40:52 EST


Provide the /proc/container directory to
containerize a process or retrieve an associated container.
We need a reasonable quick mechanism to trigger container creation.

A process becomes the root of a container if it writes
a unique name to the /proc/container file. If the process does
not already belong to a container and the name is unique,
a container is created and the calling process becomes the root.
Reading from the file returns the name of the container.
