This compiles and boots, but is not intended for inclusion in -mm (yet),
just as an RFC for the naming scheme to fix the bug Andrew pointed out.

Seem ok overall?

thanks,

Subject: [PATCH 1/2] containers: improve automatic container naming

The automatic naming of containers created using container_clone()
is currently broken (not protected from wraparound) and inconvenient.

Add a per-container counter for use in naming children of the container.
Before two unshares in a row by one process, and a third in another,
would result in

/node1/node2
/node3

The current scheme should result in

/node1/node1
/node2

Also, keep a hash table populated with used names, to protect
against counter wrap-around.

gad, what's all this stuff?

I think an IDR tree would get you what you're after in much less code.
Although it means that container IDs would get recycled quickly across a
remove+add.

Be aware that there are IDR enhancements in Greg's driver tree (and hence
in -mm) which are relevant to this application.


> + if (cont->auto_cnt_set) {

Can we please stop using "cnt" and "cont" to refer to containers? Let's
use "container", OK?

The sound of me starting over.

Ok, will look at that. Thanks for the tip!

Again, not compiles and boots, but not sufficiently tested for
inclusion.

Subject: [PATCH 2/2] Container interface to nsproxy subsystem

When a task enters a new namespace via a clone() or unshare(), a new
container is created and the task moves into it.
