Prev: [PATCH 0/6] Unshare support for the pid namespace.
Next: [PATCH 2/6] pidns: Call pid_ns_prepare_proc from create_pid_namespace
From: Eric W. Biederman on 20 Jun 2010 04:50 In the case of unsharing or joining a pid namespace, it becomes possible to attempt to allocate a pid after zap_pid_namespace has killed everything in the namespace. Close the hole for now by simply not allowing any of those pid allocations to succeed. At least for now it is too strange to think about. Signed-off-by: Eric W.
