My point was to mainly identify the performance culprits and provide
an direct access to those "namespaces" for performance reasons.
So we all agreed on that we need to do that..
After having looked at Eric's patch, I can tell that he does all these
dereferences in quite the same amount.
For example, lot's of skb->sk->host->...
while in OpenVZ it would be econtainer()->... which is essentially
current->container->...
So until someone did measurements it looks doubtfull that one solution
is better than the another.
Question now (see other's note as well), should we provide
a pointer to each and every namespace in struct task.
Seem rather wasteful to me as certain path/namespaces are not
exercise heavily.
Having one object "struct container" that still embodies all
namespace still seems a reasonable idea.
Otherwise identifying the respective namespace of subsystems will
have to go through container->init->subsys_namespace or similar.
Not necessarily bad either..
why not simply container->subsys_namespace?
