From d25141a818383b3c3b09f065698c544a7a0ec6e7 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Sukadev Bhattiprolu Date: Wed, 29 Oct 2008 14:01:11 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] 'kill sig -1' must only apply to caller's namespace Currently "kill -1" kills processes in all namespaces and breaks the isolation of namespaces. Earlier attempt to fix this was discussed at: http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/7/23/148 As suggested by Oleg Nesterov in that thread, use "task_pid_vnr() > 1" check since task_pid_vnr() returns 0 if process is outside the caller's namespace.
