That is a possibility.  However I want to break some eggs so that the
users are updated appropriately.  It is only by a strenuous act of
will that I don't change the type of pid,tgid,pgrp,session.

The size of the changes is much less important than being clear.
So for I want find_task_by_pid to be an absolute interface.


Fair enough, valid answers .. I checked the patch and it would only take
19/33 instances out .. so not the end of the world.



 Does the use of clone to create a new namespace instance look
 like the sane approach?


At he surface it looks OK .. how does this work in a multi-threaded
process which does cloen ( CLONE_NPSPACE ) ?
We discussed at some point that exec is the right place to do it,
but what I get is that because this is the container_init task
we are OK !
A bit clarification would help here ...


Well the parent doesn't much matter.  But the child must have a fresh
start on all the groups of processes.  As all other groupings known by
a pid are per pspace, so they can't cross that line.


Now, on which kernel does this compile/work ?
Do you have a "helper" program you can share that starts/exec's an
app under a new container (uhmm, namespace). No point for us to
actually write that..
