[PATCH] add child reaper to pid_namespace
Add a per pid_namespace child-reaper. This is needed so processes are reaped within the same pid space and do not spill over to the parent pid space. Its also needed so containers preserve existing semantic that pid == 1 would reap orphaned children. This is based on Eric Biederman's patch: http://lkml.org/lkml/2006/2/6/285 Signed-off-by: Sukadev Bhattiprolu <sukadev@us.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Cedric Le Goater <clg@fr.ibm.com> Cc: Kirill Korotaev <dev@openvz.org> Cc: Eric W.
