[RFC PATCH 5 1/7] kmod - add workqueue service thread store

From: Ian Kent
Date: Mon Mar 30 2015 - 23:15:06 EST


From: Ian Kent <ikent@xxxxxxxxxx>

Persistent use of process information is needed for contained
execution in a namespace other than the root init namespace.

Use a simple random token as a key to create and store thread
information in a hashed list for use by the usermode helper
thread runner.
