[PATCH 1/9] Introduce trivial sys_checkpoint and sys_restore system calls

Andrey Mirkin major at openvz.org
Wed Sep 3 03:57:48 PDT 2008


Right now they just return -ENOSYS. Later they will provide functionality
to checkpoint and restart a container.

Both syscalls take as arguments a file descriptor and flags.
Also sys_checkpoint take as the first argument a PID of container's init
(later it will be container ID); sys_restart takes as the first argument
a container ID (right now it will not be used).
