> Subject: [PATCH v9 1/3] procfs: show hierarchy of pid namespace
> 
> We lack of pid hierarchy information, and this will lead to:
> a) we don't know pids' relationship, who is whose child:
>    /proc/PID/ns/pid only tell us whether two pids live in different ns
> b) bring trouble to nested lxc container check/restore/migration
> c) bring trouble to pid translation between containers;
> 
> This patch will show the hierarchy of pid namespace
> by pidns_hierarchy like:
> 
> <init_PID> <parent_of_init_PID> <relative PID level>
> 
> Ex:
> [root@localhost ~]#cat /proc/pidns_hierarchy
> 18060 1 1
> 18102 18060 2
> 1534  18102 3
> 1600  18102 3
> 1550  1 1

Hi,

Any comments?
