    pid namespaces: make proc have multiple superblocks - one for each namespace · 07543f5c
    Pavel Emelyanov authored
    Each pid namespace have to be visible through its own proc mount.  Thus we
    need to have per-namespace proc trees with their own superblocks.
    
    We cannot easily show different pid namespace via one global proc tree, since
    each pid refers to different tasks in different namespaces.  E.g.  pid 1
    refers to the init task in the initial namespace and to some other task when
    seeing from another namespace.  Moreover - pid, exisintg in one namespace may
    not exist in the other.
    
    This approach has one move advantage is that the tasks from the init namespace
    can see what tasks live in another namespace by reading entries from another
    proc tree.
