From eaa0d190bfe1ed891b814a52712dcd852554cb08 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Kirill Tkhai Date: Mon, 8 May 2017 15:56:41 -0700 Subject: pidns: expose task pid_ns_for_children to userspace pid_ns_for_children set by a task is known only to the task itself, and it's impossible to identify it from outside. It's a big problem for checkpoint/restore software like CRIU, because it can't correctly handle tasks, that do setns(CLONE_NEWPID) in proccess of their work. This patch solves the problem, and it exposes pid_ns_for_children to ns directory in standard way with the name "pid_for_children": ~# ls /proc/5531/ns -l | grep pid lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 0 Jan 14 16:38 pid -> pid:[4026531836] lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 0 Jan 14 16:38 pid_for_children -> pid:[4026532286] Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/149201123914.6007.2187327078064239572.stgit@localhost.localdomain Signed-off-by: Kirill Tkhai Cc: Andrei Vagin Cc: Andreas Gruenbacher Cc: Kees Cook Cc: Michael Kerrisk Cc: Al Viro Cc: Oleg Nesterov Cc: Paul Moore Cc: Eric Biederman Cc: Andy Lutomirski Cc: Ingo Molnar Cc: Serge Hallyn Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds --- include/linux/proc_ns.h | 1 + 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+) (limited to 'include/linux') diff --git a/include/linux/proc_ns.h b/include/linux/proc_ns.h index 88dba3b53375..58ab28d81fc2 100644 --- a/include/linux/proc_ns.h +++ b/include/linux/proc_ns.h @@ -27,6 +27,7 @@ extern const struct proc_ns_operations netns_operations; extern const struct proc_ns_operations utsns_operations; extern const struct proc_ns_operations ipcns_operations; extern const struct proc_ns_operations pidns_operations; +extern const struct proc_ns_operations pidns_for_children_operations; extern const struct proc_ns_operations userns_operations; extern const struct proc_ns_operations mntns_operations; extern const struct proc_ns_operations cgroupns_operations; -- cgit v1.2.3
