[RFC PATCH 3/4] namespacefs: Couple namespacefs to the PID namespace

From: Yordan Karadzhov (VMware)
Date: Thu Nov 18 2021 - 13:13:23 EST


When the PID namespace gets initialized, a directory called 'pid' is
added to 'namespacesfs'. This directory represents the main PID namespace
and also serves as a trunk (parent) of all child PID namespaces. Every
time when a new PID namespace is created a corresponding directory is
added to 'namespacefs/pid/parent/hierarchy/'. The 'inum' of the new
namespace gives the name of its directory. When the PID namespace is
destroyed the corresponding directory is removed.
