[PATCH 04/10] Task Containers(V11): Add container_clone() interface.

Fri Jul 20 11:31:56 PDT 2007


This patch adds support for container_clone(), a way to create new
containers intended to be used for systems such as namespace
unsharing. A new subsystem callback, post_clone(), is added to allow
subsystems to automatically configure cloned containers.
