The patch titled containers: implement subsys->post_clone() has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was containers-implement-subsys-post_clone.patch This patch was dropped because an updated version will be merged ------------------------------------------------------ Subject: containers: implement subsys->post_clone() From: "Serge E. Hallyn" <serue@xxxxxxxxxx> container_clone() in one step creates a new container and moves the current task into it. Since cpusets do not automatically fill in the allowed cpus and mems, and do not allow a task to be attached without these filled in, composing the ns subsystem, which uses container_clone(), and the cpuset subsystem, results in sys_unshare() (and clone(CLONE_NEWNS)) always being denied. To allow the two subsystems to be meaningfully composed, implement subsystem->post_clone(), called from container_clone() after creating the new container. Only the cpuset_post_clone() is currently implemented. If any sibling containers have exclusive cpus or mems, then the cpus and mems are not filled in for the new container, meaning that unshare/clone(CLONE_NEWNS) will be denied. However so long as no siblings have exclusive cpus or mems, the new container's cpus and mems are inherited from the parent container. Signed-off-by: Serge E.
