    pid namespaces: define is_global_init() and is_container_init() · b460cbc5
    Serge E. Hallyn authored
    
    
    is_init() is an ambiguous name for the pid==1 check.  Split it into
    is_global_init() and is_container_init().
    
    A cgroup init has it's tsk->pid == 1.
    
    A global init also has it's tsk->pid == 1 and it's active pid namespace
    is the init_pid_ns.  But rather than check the active pid namespace,
    compare the task structure with 'init_pid_ns.child_reaper', which is
    initialized during boot to the /sbin/init process and never changes.
    
    Changelog:
    
    	2.6.22-rc4-mm2-pidns1:
    	- Use 'init_pid_ns.child_reaper' to determine if a given task is the
    	  global init (/sbin/init) process. This would improve performance
    	  and remove dependence on the task_pid().
    
    	2.6.21-mm2-pidns2:
    
    	- [Sukadev Bhattiprolu] Changed is_container_init() calls in {powerpc,
    	  ppc,avr32}/traps.c for the _exception() call to is_global_init().
    	  This way, we kill only the cgroup if the cgroup's init has a
    	  bug rather than force a kernel panic.
