Agenda

  • Namespaces/Containers
    • Additional needed namespaces
      • Small namespaces What to do with small subsystem that might need virtualization. E.g. in openvz we have FUSE, binfmt_misc and some other small stuff virtualized. But how to merge it in mainline? Create a separate namespace for each? Mere them into one? How to call this then?
    • Nature of a 'container' — kernel object or userspace fiction
    • Handling of /proc and /sysfs within containers
    • Handling filesystem/namespace synchronization (not sure what the issue is)
    • How to enter a container
    • User namespaces?
  • Cgroups+Resource management
    • Cgroup implementation
    • Additional cgroups and their design
    • libcg - userspace explotation of control groups/resource management
    • Resource management
  • Checkpoint/Restart
    • Summary of existing c/r patchsets/designs
    • How to initiate and synchronize checkpoint/restart
    • (state of freezer subsystem?)
    • Memory state dump
    • How to dump/fetch data for resource (file, ipc) checkpoint
    • How to do restart
