I'm working on a project to checkpoint and restart processes. Obviously, after a process dies, and is "transparently" restarted, it might get confused because its pid changed. (This is one of many issues, but I'm starting with pids)
I don't want to change the kernel's internal idea of pids, but I would like to have a new pid namespace which a process can see. This means finding all the places where the kernel returns a pid to userspace, and returning something different. The following patch series implements a very simple mechanism for doing that. I know the stuff in the end is relative junk (just for testing), but does anybody see a good reason that we can't start merging something resembling the first couple patches? _______________________________________________ Vserver mailing list Vserver@list.linux-vserver.org http://list.linux-vserver.org/mailman/listinfo/vserver
