  • This patch fixes copy_namespaces()'s error path.

    when new nsproxy (new_ns) is created pointers to namespaces (ipc, uts) are
    copied from the old nsproxy. Later in copy_utsname, copy_ipcs, etc.
    according namespaces are get-ed. On error path needed namespaces are
    put-ed, so there's no need to put new nsproxy itelf as it woud cause
    putting namespaces for the second time.

    Found when incorporating namespaces into OpenVZ kernel.

  • 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

  • Implement a CLONE_NEWUTS flag, and use it at clone and sys_unshare.

  • This patch defines the uts namespace and some manipulators.
    Adds the uts namespace to task_struct, and initializes a
    system-wide init namespace.

    It leaves a #define for system_utsname so sysctl will compile.
    This define will be removed in a separate patch.

  • This moves the mount namespace into the nsproxy. The mount namespace count
    now refers to the number of nsproxies point to it, rather than the number of
    tasks. As a result, the unshare_namespace() function in kernel/fork.c no
    longer checks whether it is being shared.

  • Move the init_nsproxy definition out of arch/ into kernel/nsproxy.c. This
    avoids all arches having to be updated. Compiles and boots on s390.

  • This patch adds a nsproxy structure to the task struct. Later patches will
    move the fs namespace pointer into this structure, and introduce a new utsname
    namespace into the nsproxy.

    The vserver and openvz functionality, then, would be implemented in large part
    by virtualizing/isolating more and more resources into namespaces, each
    contained in the nsproxy.
