From: Xiang Rui <rui.xiang@xxxxxxxxxx> In Serge's patch (http://lwn.net/Articles/525629/), syslog_namespace was tied to a user namespace. We add syslog_ns tied to nsproxy instead, and implement ns_printk in ip_table context. We add syslog_namespace as a part of nsproxy, and a new flag CLONE_SYSLOG to unshare syslog area. In syslog_namespace, some necessary identifiers for handling syslog buf are contained. When one container creates a new syslog namespace,containerized buf will be allocated to store log ownned this container. Containerized identifiers such as log_first_seq instead of global variable only affect their own buf.The buf will not be free until syslog_namespace is destructed by host. Printk should be re-implimented because log buf is isolated into syslog_ns. The function include printk, /dev/kmsg, do_syslog and kmsg_dump should be realized in container. So, to make these funtions available in container, a parameter syslog_ns is necessory for their interfaces. For container context, the value syslog namespace is reasonable if we use current method to get syslog_ns when using iptable. Because the log info belong to each containers will be printed in host. We add a pointer in net namespace, and use it to track the syslog_ns which was created when the log was generated in container. Then add ns_printk to provide a new interface while using syslog_ns. This patchset is based on the develop tree of net branch https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/davem/net-next.git.
