[PATCH 1/2] proc: Show ns-based inode numbers for /proc/pid/ns/*files

From: Pavel Emelyanov
Date: Fri May 11 2012 - 08:25:31 EST


Some time ago we tried to expose kernel object IDs to the user space to
let it possible to detect shared mm, fs, etc. The namespaces' IDs were
included in this set and Eric proposed, that we'd better expose the ID
in the stat's st_ino field.

That's an implementation of this proposal. The proc_ns_operations is
equipped with the get_ns_id() callback, which should return some unique
ID of a namespace provided. This value is then mixed with the namespace's
type number to make the IDs truly unique.

For IPC and UTS namespaces these IDs are generated with sequentially
incremented 64-bit atomic number. For net namespace the ID is the ifindex
of the namespace's loopback device.
