Subject: pid namespaces: allow signalling cgroup-init
X-Git-Tag: v2.6.24-rc1~210
X-Git-Url: https://openfabrics.org/gitweb/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=0fbc26a6cfab9f377e82e28225f2c0c6b4661e5c;p=~shefty%2Frdma-dev.git

pid namespaces: allow signalling cgroup-init

Only the global-init process must be special - any other cgroup-init
process must be killable to prevent run-away processes in the system.

TODO: 	Ideally we should allow killing the cgroup-init only from parent
	cgroup and prevent it being killed from within the cgroup.
	But that is a more complex change and will be addressed by a follow-on
	patch. For now allow the cgroup-init to be terminated by any process
	with sufficient privileges.
