SubjectRe: [PATCH] linux-cr: nested pid namespaces (v3)
Quoting Louis Rilling (Louis.Rilling@kerlabs.com):

Hi Louis, thanks again for reviewing.

Unsharing can only be done to a child ns, so it wouldn't be foreign.
Though of course that depends on which one ends up being the original
pid_ns (see below).

Now, regarding supporting unshared pid_ns, I think that (1) it will
be a simple matter of separately doing
pid_pidns = checkpoint_obj(task_active_pid_ns(task));
nsp_pidns = checkpoint_obj(task->nsproxy->pid_ns);
since we will need to record both. In addition, (2) the most
recent emails I see on the topics are still unsure about whether
we want to have the unshared pid_ns be reflected in
ns_of_pid(task_pid(task)) or task->nsproxy->pid_ns, so I think
we'll just have to handle them when they are implemented.
