[Devel] Instructions of how to make testing easy

That's the program I used for testing. It creates a new 
session, chroots to new root, clones the namespace, mounts 
proc and launches the sshd to keep track of the terminals.

The new root I prepared was bind-mounted /lib, /bin, /usr
etc directories, copied /dev devices with devpts mounted
inside and empty /var (for sshd) and /proc (for new mount).

After these preparations I launched this enter program and
then used ssh to get into the namespace.

Hope this will help.

The patches introduced was then tested with some mportaint
tests from ltp testsuite in 4 ways: 

1 kernel w/o the patch
2 kernel with CONFIG_PID_NS=n
3 kernel with namespaces in init namespace
4 kernel with namespaces in subnamespace

The results coincided.
