I don't like this even more. Pid namespaces are hierarchical _and_ anonymous, so simply set of numbers doesn't describe the final object. struct pid isn't special, it's just another invariant if you like as far as C/R is concerned, but system call is made special wrt pids. What will be in an image? I hope "struct kstate_image_pid" with several numbers and with references to such object from other places, so it seems natural to do alloc_pid() with needed numbers and that attach new shiny pid to where needed. But this clone_pid is only for task_struct's pids. _______________________________________________ Containers mailing list Containers@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.linux-foundation.org/mailman/listinfo/containers
