Chen-san,
I would like to recommend that you summarize pros/cons for all ideas so far.
For example,
---------
A) make new system call for transrate
A-1) systemcall(ID, NS1, NS2) into (ID).
pros:
- foo
- baa
cons:
- hoge
- hogehogehoge
A-2) pid_t getnspid(pid_t query_pid, pid_t observer_pid)
(ditto)
B) make/change proc file/directories
B-1) expand /proc/pid/status
(ditto)
B-2) /proc/<pidX>/ns/proc/ which would contain everything
from /proc/<pidX inside the namespace>/.
(ditto)
------
Please make clear what is the good/bad point of each opinion by the above,
- Is it hard to keep compatiblity?
- Is it hard to understand for administorator/programmer?
- Is it difficult to show for "nested containers"?
- Is userland tool necessary?
- any other problems?
I hope it will be good discussion by the above.
Thanks,
