[PATCH 3/4] nsfs: add ioctl to get a parent namespace

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



From: Andrey Vagin <avagin@xxxxxxxxxx>

Pid and user namepaces are hierarchical. There is no way to discover
parent-child relationships.

In a future we will use this interface to dump and restore nested
namespaces.
