Re: [RFC][PATCH 1/5] Virtualization/containers: startup

So why store anything other than the effective container in the task?
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.
