Hello All, Eric, in your initial proof of concept on the pid namespace, you were defining a child_reaper per pid namespace. IMO, we can't use init_task as a child_reaper in a pid namespace because we will have pid collision which might result in a breakage of the init_task. Here are some questions on the model you intended to follow : Do you think we should have a child_reaper task per container ? Could we use a kthread to do the job ? Could that kthread be global to all pid namespace ? Any completely different idea on the topic ? thanks, C.
