I posted with auto-selecting?
Code now looks like this:
rcu_read_lock();
tsk = find_task_by_vpid(pid);
if (tsk) {
struct nsproxy *nsproxy;
nsproxy = task_nsproxy(tsk);
if (nsproxy) {
init_tsk = nsproxy->pid_ns->child_reaper;
if (init_tsk != tsk)
init_tsk = NULL;
} else
init_tsk = NULL;
if (init_tsk)
get_task_struct(init_tsk);
}
rcu_read_unlock();
This is to buy as little semantics on checkpoint(2) as possible.
If users later will complain that it's for some reason hard to see who is
root of container, it could be added.
