SubjectRe: [PATCH 8/16] Masquerade the siginfo when sending a pid to a foreign namespace

Also, do you prevent signals to the child reaper of a container from within
its container ? If so, can you show me where you handle it ? I can't
seem to find it.

And I guess you do allow signals to the child-reaper of a container from
its parent container.

| The pid_ns_accessible() call is introduced to check this pid-to-ns

So what happens if we run "kill -s <sig> -1" from within a container ?
Do you terminate all processes in the system or just the process in
the container ?
