I'm fairly certain that the signal issue you they are dealing with is how to keep children from killing the init of a pid namespace. At least that is what Suka mentioned when I asked him earlier, and that is the discussion I have at various times on the containers list. This is a totally different issue. This is keeping kill -1 in a child pid namespace from sending a signal to every process in the system. It is a bad bug and this patch is a complete fix for it. To my knowledge Pavel and Suka just overlooked this case. > If you'd first sent this patch for discussion/review to containers@, you'd > know > that the patch is very incomplete. I explicitly asked Suka, Pavel, and Cedric how complete they thought the pid namespace was before I started sending patches. With Pavel at a conference it makes sense why he did not reply. For the most part Suka and Cedric did not know about the issues that I have been finding and fixing. So since several of them have been fixable with trivial simple fixes and because we have passed -rc1 and it is now time for bug fixes and possibly a few cleanups. I have been making bug fixes. Kir I am happy from feedback from people who can understand the code and patches. But I am not going to hold up sending simple obviously correct fixes for discussion.
