  • This reverts commit 7a238fcba0629b6f2edbcd37458bae56fcf36be5 in
    preparation for a better and simpler fix proposed by Eric Biederman
    (and fixed up by Serge Hallyn)

  • Fix exit race by splitting the nsproxy putting into two pieces. First
    piece reduces the nsproxy refcount. If we dropped the last reference, then
    it puts the mnt_ns, and returns the nsproxy as a hint to the caller. Else
    it returns NULL. The second piece of exiting task namespaces sets
    tsk->nsproxy to NULL, and drops the references to other namespaces and
    frees the nsproxy only if an nsproxy was passed in.

    A little awkward and should probably be reworked, but hopefully it fixes
    the NFS oops.

  • This reverts commit 373beb35cd6b625e0ba4ad98baace12310a26aa8.

    No one is using this identifier yet. The purpose of this identifier is to
    export nsproxy to user space which is wrong. nsproxy is an internal
    implementation optimization, which should keep our fork times from getting
    slower as we increase the number of global namespaces you don't have to
    share.

    Adding a global identifier like this is inappropriate because it makes
    namespaces inherently non-recursive, greatly limiting what we can do with
    them in the future.

  • Add the pid namespace framework to the nsproxy object. The copy of the pid
    namespace only increases the refcount on the global pid namespace,
    init_pid_ns, and unshare is not implemented.

    There is no configuration option to activate or deactivate this feature
    because this not relevant for the moment.

  • Add an identifier to nsproxy. The default init_ns_proxy has identifier 0 and
    allocated nsproxies are given -1.

    This identifier will be used by a new syscall sys_bind_ns.

  • Rename 'struct namespace' to 'struct mnt_namespace' to avoid confusion with
    other namespaces being developped for the containers : pid, uts, ipc, etc.
    'namespace' variables and attributes are also renamed to 'mnt_ns'

  • 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

  • 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.
