Subject: [RFC][patch 17/21] PID Virtualization: /proc/container filesystem
Content-Disposition: inline; filename=G4-container-procfs.patch
Sender: linux-kernel-owner@vger.kernel.org
Content-Length: 4564
Lines: 158

Provide the /proc/container directory to
containerize a process or retrieve an associated container.
We need a reasonable quick mechanism to trigger container creation.

A process becomes the root of a container if it writes
a unique name to the /proc/container file. If the process does
not already belong to a container and the name is unique, 
a container is created and the calling process becomes the root.
Reading from the file returns the name of the container.
