[RFC PATCH 04/27] containers: Allow a process to be forked into a container

David Howells dhowells at redhat.com
Fri Feb 15 16:07:49 UTC 2019


Allow a single process to be forked directly into a container using a new
syscall, thereby 'booting' the container:

	pid_t pid = fork_into_container(int container_fd);

This process will be the 'init' process of the container.

Further attempts to fork into the container will be rejected.
