Hi all,
This complete separation of namespaces is very useful for at least two
purposes:
- allowing users to create and manage by their own various tunnels and
VPNs, and
- enabling easier and more straightforward live migration of groups of
processes with their environment.

The overhead comes from packets traversing input path, then output path,
then input path again in the destination

Fix the lack of certain non-LOCKDEP stub functions in linux/interrupt.h and

This is to be applied to -mm kernel since not all of the functions added exist

Move the fallback arch_vma_name() to a sensible place (kernel/signal.c).
Currently it's in fs/proc/task_mmu.c, a file that is dependent on both
CONFIG_PROC_FS and CONFIG_MMU being enabled, but it's used from kernel/signal.c
from where it is called unconditionally.

For HPC if you are interested in migration you need a separate IP per
container. If you can take you IP address with you migration of
networking state is simple. If you can't take your IP address with
