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 <ktkhai@virtuozzo.com> Cc: Andrei Vagin <avagin@virtuozzo.com> Cc: Andreas Gruenbacher <agruenba@redhat.com> Cc: Kees Cook <keescook@chromium.org> Cc: Michael Kerrisk <mtk.manpages@googlemail.com> Cc: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk> Cc: Oleg Nesterov <oleg@redhat.com> Cc: Paul Moore <paul@paul-moore.com> Cc: Eric Biederman <ebiederm@xmission.com> Cc: Andy Lutomirski <luto@amacapital.net> Cc: Ingo Molnar <mingo@kernel.org> Cc: Serge Hallyn <serge@hallyn.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
