[Devel] [PATCH 04/11] restart: improve success/failure reporting

Oren Laadan orenl at cs.columbia.edu
Mon Feb 7 09:21:25 PST 2011


This patch improves the final status report (success/fail) of restart
by adding a new ctx->success variable. The motivation is twofold:

1) Before, there was a confusion between who reports an error when (in
--pidns) the root task isn't container init - in which case we add a
dummy init. For this, we also improve how the dummy init communicates
the status (success/fail) to the original restart task.

2) Even after restart succeeds, there may be errors (which may not
affect the restarted task, but should be nevertheless reported).
