[PATCH v3 1/2] pidfd: show pids for nested pid namespaces in fdinfo

From: Christian Kellner
Date: Fri Oct 11 2019 - 08:23:45 EST


From: Christian Kellner <christian@xxxxxxxxxx>

The fdinfo file for a process file descriptor already contains the
pid of the process in the callers namespaces. Additionally, if pid
namespaces are configured, show the process ids of the process in
all nested namespaces in the same format as in the procfs status
file, i.e. "NSPid:\t%d\%d...". This allows the easy identification
of the processes in nested namespaces.

Changes in v2:
- Moved into separate function to avoid multiple ifdefs as suggested
by Michal Hocko
Changes in v3:
- Helper function takes struct pid_namespace *ns param and got a new
name
