[PATCH 13/20] Allow cloning of new namespace

From: xemul
Date: Fri Aug 10 2007 - 08:00:37 EST


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.
