Containers/Mini-summit 2008/Proposal

2008-01-26T01:49:54Z

Sukadev: /* Description */

Mini-summit proposal: '''Linux Kernel Containers Developer Summit'''
__NOTOC__
== Topic ==

Namespaces, containers, cgroups, and container checkpoint/restart.

== Description ==

Development for namespaces and cgroups is well underway in the
mainline kernel. To keep momentum going and keep the loosely
knit teams of developers well-coordinated, a physical meeting in
which to discuss future development plans is needed.
Additionally, we are at a point where crucial decisions about
the nature of a "container object" and about the checkpoint/restart
design need to be made.

A final set of topics will be decided upon through mailing lists
ahead of time, but potential topics include:
* Handling filesystem/namespace synchronization
* Handling of /proc and /sysfs within containers
* Additional needed namespaces (i.e. device namespace)
* Nature of a 'container' — kernel object or userspace fiction
* Additional cgroups and their design
* How to initiate and synchronize checkpoint/restart

== Moderators ==
{{Out|These are just suggestions, please edit here or let us know if you do or do not want to moderate.}}

Namespaces/containers: Serge Hallyn
cgroups: Paul Menage
Checkpoint/restart: Dave Hansen

== Expected Time Required ==

One day.

== Number of Attendees ==

Approximately 30.

== Technical Requirements ==

* Projector and screen
* Whiteboard
* Network access
* Power for laptops

'''Pidspace tasks'''

* [[# Functions using pid_t]]
* [[# Misc tasks]]

'''Functions using ''pid_t'''''

Files with calls to functions that take '''pid_t''' parameter. These calls should in general take a '''struct pid *''' instead and choose the correct pid value based on the container/pidspace.

This list is based on '''2.6.18-rc5'''. It was generated using a simple perl script that looks for following patterns. While the script should have found all occurences of the patterns, it does '''not''' strip out matches like ''oom_kill_process()'' which matches ''kill_proc''.

* do_each_task_pid
* kill_proc_info
* kill_proc
* __kill_pg_info
* kill_pg_info
* kill_pg

'''Functions using ''pid_t'''''

Files with calls to functions that take '''pid_t''' parameter. These calls should in general take a '''struct pid *''' instead and choose the correct pid value based on the container/pidspace.

This list is based on '''2.6.18-rc5'''. It was generated using a simple perl script that looks for following patterns. While the script should have found all occurences of the patterns, it does '''not''' strip out matches like ''oom_kill_process()'' which matches ''kill_proc''.
