Hi, The next serie contains some cleanups on namespaces that have been lying in our container patchset for a while. The patches seem stable enough and not too controversial to be good candidates for a -mm merge. Here's a short summary of what they are doing : * add a process_session() helper routine * rename 'struct namespace' to 'struct mnt_namespace' * add pid namespace framework to nsproxy but without the unshare feature * add a child_reaper per pid namespace * add an id to nsproxy for a future syscall bind_ns A next serie should follow soon, which depends on the above. * net namespace framework, empty object without any dependency on the layer * unshare_ns syscall (unshare dedicated to namespaces with its own flags) * bind_ns syscall enabling a process to switch nsproxy * more cleanups for the pid namespace Pending patches we are still working on : * layer 3 net namespace providing a simple and fast isolation of a net interface * full pid namespace, this is quite complex. Thanks, C.
