[PATCH v8 1/2] procfs: show hierarchy of pid namespace

From: Chen Hanxiao
Date: Tue Nov 18 2014 - 04:32:10 EST


We lack of pid hierarchy information, and this will lead to:
a) we don't know pids' relationship, who is whose child:
/proc/PID/ns/pid only tell us whether two pids live in different ns
b) bring trouble to nested lxc container check/restore/migration
c) bring trouble to pid translation between containers;

This patch will show the hierarchy of pid namespace
by pidns_hierarchy like:

<init_PID> <parent_of_init_PID> <relative PID level>

Ex:
[root@localhost ~]#cat /proc/pidns_hierarchy
18060 1 1
18102 18060 2
1534 18102 3
1600 18102 3
1550 1 1
*Note: numbers represent the pid 1 in different ns

It shows the pid hierarchy below:

init_pid_ns 1
â
ââââââââââââââ
ns1 ns2
â â
1550 18060
â
â
ns3
â
18102
â
ââââââââââââ
ns4 ns5
â â
1534 1600

Every pid printed in pidns_hierarchy
is the init pid of that pid ns level.

v8: fix some improper comments
use max() from kernel.h
v7: change stype to be consistent with current interface like
<init_PID> <parent_of_init_PID> <relative PID level>
remove EXPERT dependent in Kconfig
v6: fix a get_pid leak and do some cleanups;
v5: collect pid by find_ge_pid;
use local list inside nslist_proc_show;
use get_pid, remove mutex lock.
v4: simplify pid collection and some performance optimizamtion
fix another race issue.
v3: fix a race issue and memory leak issue
v2: use a procfs text file instead of dirs under /proc
