Re: [libvirt] [RFC][PATCH] lxc: fix for ns cgroups subsystem

>From 46531182708dc3eb132b14ce2f23fbc639430176 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Ryota Ozaki <ozaki.ryota(a)gmail.com&gt; Date: Fri, 8 May 2009 05:31:03 +0900 Subject: [PATCH] lxc: fix for ns cgroups subsystem lxc does not work if ns cgroups subsystem is enabled because of two factors; one is that ns has a special rule to create a group[*] unlike other subsystems and the other is lxc controller creates a new namespace for /dev/pts prior to create a new group for a domain. Unfortunately the new namespace breaks the rule of ns and that prevents a lxc controller from creating a new group. This patch addresses the problem by creating a new group before creating a new namespace (i.e. call unshare syscall). Note that this patch is only for the case ns is enabled and current code works well if it disabled. However, I think this patch makes sense because not just a few users know much about cgroups and likely to enable all of subsystems without notions (i.e. mount cgroups without any options).
