Effective container is used for temporary context change, e.g. when processing interrupts and need to handle skb. it is effective container for this code. just like get_fs()/set_fs() works. Original container pointer is used for external process identification, e.g. whether to show task in /proc in context of another task.So why store anything other than the effective container in the task?
