Subject: Re: [PATCH][BUGFIX] cgroups: fix pid namespace bug
Quoting Li Zefan (lizf@...fujitsu.com):
> The bug was introduced by commit cc31edceee04a7b87f2be48f9489ebb72d264844
> ("cgroups: convert tasks file to use a seq_file with shared pid array").
>
> We cache a pid array for all threads that are opening the same "tasks"
> file, but the pids in the array are always from the namespace of the
> last process that opened the file, so all other threads will read pids
> from that namespace instead of their own namespaces.
>
> To fix it, we maintain a list of pid arrays, which is keyed by pid_ns.
> The list will be of length 1 at most time.
