Subject: [RESEND RFC] translate_pid API

Resending the RFC with participants of previous discussions
in the list.

Following patch which is a variation of a solution discussed
in https://lwn.net/Articles/736330/ provides the users of
pid namespace, the functionality of pid translation between
namespaces using a namespace identifier. The topic of
pid translation has been discussed in the community few times
but there has always been a resistance to adding new solution
for this problem.

I will outline the planned usecase of pid namespace by oracle
database and explain why any of the existing solution cannot
be used to solve their problem.

Consider a system in which several PID namespaces with multiple
nested levels exists in parallel with monitor processes managing
all the namespaces. PID translation is required for controlling
and accessing information about the processes by the monitors
and other processes down the hierarchy of namespaces. Controlling
primarily involves sending signals or using ptrace by a process in
parent namespace on any of the processes in its child namespace.
Accessing information deals with the reading /proc/<pid>/* files
of processes in child namespace. None of the processes have
root/CAP_SYS_ADMIN privileges.

Existing methods:

*) SCM_CREDENTIALS message:
	Ref: http://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man7/unix.7.html
	The sender can translate its pid from its own namespace
to a pid in the target namespace by sending and receiving the
SCM_CREDENTIALS message. The drawback of this method is the
requirement of a socket communication channel to pid translation
which adds to the management overhead. This method does not enable
the sender to translate the pid of other process unless it is root
or it has CAP_SYS_ADMIN.

*) /proc/<pid>/status file
	Ref: http://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man5/proc.5.html
	Ref: https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/5861791/
	/proc/<pid>/status file provides a way to find the pids
associated with a process in different namespaces. Pid translation
from child namespace to parent namespace from parent namespace would
require searching all the status file in the parent namespace to find
the desired pid at desired level which is inefficient.

Method under review:

*) pidns: introduce syscall translate_pid
	Ref: https://lwn.net/Articles/736330/
	This solution though not integrated yet, when used would require
monitor to have open file descriptor for every level of namespace it
has to monitor which results in explosion of number of file descriptors
the monitor has to keep open.

Following patch uses a 64-bit ID for namespace exported by procfs
for pid translation through a new file /proc/<pid>/ns/pidns_id.

[root@...-x4600-01 ~]# ls -l /proc/4690/ns
total 0
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 0 Mar  1 15:55 cgroup -> cgroup:[4026531835]
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 0 Mar  1 15:55 ipc -> ipc:[4026531839]
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 0 Mar  1 15:55 mnt -> mnt:[4026532324]
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 0 Mar  1 15:55 net -> net:[4026531993]
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 0 Mar  1 15:55 pid -> pid:[4026532325]
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 0 Mar  1 15:55 pid_for_children -> pid:[4026532325]
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 0 Mar  1 15:55 pidns_id -> [14994344851325148137]
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 0 Mar  1 15:55 user -> user:[4026531837]
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 0 Mar  1 15:55 uts -> uts:[4026531838]

Though there is a problem of ID being recycled in longterm, managing
an ID per namespace is easier than having open file descriptors per
pid namespace. Existing namespace inode numbers recycles faster and hence
their usability as ID for this API is less.
