Re: [PATCH 2/2] pid_ns: Introduce ioctl to set vector of ns_last_pid's on ns hierarhy

Quoting Kirill Tkhai (ktkhai@xxxxxxxxxxxxx):

>   v
> pid_ns2 (father)
>   |
>   v
> pid_ns3 (child)
> 
> and the ns of task's of pid_ns3 is open, then the corresponding

> vector may be short and it may contain less levels, for example,
> "last_ns_pid3:last_ns_pid2" or even "last_ns_pid3", in dependence
> of which levels you want to populate.

> To write in a pid_ns's ns_last_pid we check that the writer task
