[RFC patch 0/2] posix mqueue namespace (v12)

From: Serge E. Hallyn
Date: Wed Dec 17 2008 - 12:55:30 EST


Posix message queue support in ipc namespaces has had
several submissions by various people. Hopefully this
version, based on code by both Cedric Le Goater and
Nadia Derbey has a shot at making it upstream.

To create a new ipc namespace with posix mq support, you
would

unshare(CLONE_NEWIPC|CLONE_NEWNS);
umount /dev/mqueue
mount -t mqueue mqueue /dev/mqueue

It's perfectly valid to do vfs operations on files
in another ipc_namespace's /dev/mqueue, but any use
of mq_open(3) and friends will act in your own ipc_ns.

thanks,
