  • Currently the IPC namespace management code is spread over the ipc/*.c files.
    I moved this code into ipc/namespace.c file which is compiled out when needed.

    The linux/ipc_namespace.h file is used to store the prototypes of the
    functions in namespace.c and the stubs for NAMESPACES=n case. This is done
    so, because the stub for copy_ipc_namespace requires the knowledge of the
    CLONE_NEWIPC flag, which is in sched.h. But the linux/ipc.h file itself in
    included into many many .c files via the sys.h->sem.h sequence so adding the
    sched.h into it will make all these .c depend on sched.h which is not that
    good. On the other hand the knowledge about the namespaces stuff is required
    in 4 .c files only.

    Besides, this patch compiles out some auxiliary functions from ipc/sem.c,
    msg.c and shm.c files. It turned out that moving these functions into
    namespaces.c is not that easy because they use many other calls and macros
    from the original file. Moving them would make this patch complicated. On
    the other hand all these functions can be consolidated, so I will send a
    separate patch doing this a bit later.

  • Virtualization of sysv msg queues is incomplete: msg_hdrs and msg_bytes
    variables visible from userspace are global. Let's make them
    per-namespace.

  • This patch introduces ipcs storage into IDRs. The main changes are:
    . This ipc_ids structure is changed: the entries array is changed into a
    root idr structure.
    . The grow_ary() routine is removed: it is not needed anymore when adding
    an ipc structure, since we are now using the IDR facility.
    . The ipc_rmid() routine interface is changed:
    . there is no need for this routine to return the pointer passed in as
    argument: it is now declared as a void
    . since the id is now part of the kern_ipc_perm structure, no need to
    have it as an argument to the routine

  • All asm/ipc.h files do only #include .

    This patch therefore removes all include/asm-*/ipc.h files and moves the
    contents of include/asm-generic/ipc.h to include/linux/ipc.h.

  • sys_clone() and sys_unshare() both makes copies of nsproxy and its associated
    namespaces. But they have different code paths.

    This patch merges all the nsproxy and its associated namespace copy/clone
    handling (as much as possible). Posted on container list earlier for
    feedback.

    - Create a new nsproxy and its associated namespaces and pass it back to
    caller to attach it to right process.

    - Changed all copy_*_ns() routines to return a new copy of namespace
    instead of attaching it to task->nsproxy.

    - Moved the CAP_SYS_ADMIN checks out of copy_*_ns() routines.

    - Removed unnessary !ns checks from copy_*_ns() and added BUG_ON()
    just incase.

    - Get rid of all individual unshare_*_ns() routines and make use of
    copy_*_ns() instead.

  • When CONFIG_IPC_NS=n, clone(CLONE_NEWIPC) claims success, but did not actually
    clone a new IPC namespace.

    Fix this to return -EINVAL so the caller knows his request was denied.

  • This patch set allows to unshare IPCs and have a private set of IPC objects
    (sem, shm, msg) inside namespace. Basically, it is another building block of
    containers functionality.

    This patch implements core IPC namespace changes:
    - ipc_namespace structure
    - new config option CONFIG_IPC_NS
    - adds CLONE_NEWIPC flag
    - unshare support

  • Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
    even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
    archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
    3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
    git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
    infrastructure for it.

    Let it rip!
