From b8f566b04d3cddd192cfd2418ae6d54ac6353792 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Pavel Emelyanov Date: Thu, 12 Jan 2012 17:20:27 -0800 Subject: sysctl: add the kernel.ns_last_pid control The sysctl works on the current task's pid namespace, getting and setting its last_pid field. Writing is allowed for CAP_SYS_ADMIN-capable tasks thus making it possible to create a task with desired pid value. This ability is required badly for the checkpoint/restore in userspace. This approach suits all the parties for now. Signed-off-by: Pavel Emelyanov Acked-by: Tejun Heo Cc: Oleg Nesterov Cc: Cyrill Gorcunov Cc: "Eric W.

Fix this in dcache_init() and similar areas. Signed-off-by: Dimitri Sivanich Acked-by: David S.
