copy_process 主要分为三步：首先调用 dup_task_struct() 复制当前的进程描述符信息 task_struct，为新进程分配新的堆栈，第二步调用 sched_fork() 初始化进程数据结构，为其分配 CPU，把进程状态设置为 TASK_RUNNING，最后一步就是调用 copy_namespaces() 复制 namesapces。我们重点关注最后一步 copy_namespaces()：
/* * called from clone. This now handles copy for nsproxy and all * namespaces therein. */ int copy_namespaces(unsigned long flags, struct task_struct *tsk) { struct nsproxy *old_ns = tsk->nsproxy; struct user_namespace *user_ns = task_cred_xxx(tsk, user_ns); struct nsproxy *new_ns; if (likely(!(flags & (CLONE_NEWNS | CLONE_NEWUTS | CLONE_NEWIPC | CLONE_NEWPID | CLONE_NEWNET)))) { get_nsproxy(old_ns); return 0; } if (!ns_capable(user_ns, CAP_SYS_ADMIN)) return -EPERM; /* * CLONE_NEWIPC must detach from the undolist: after switching * to a new ipc namespace, the semaphore arrays from the old * namespace are unreachable. In clone parlance, CLONE_SYSVSEM * means share undolist with parent, so we must forbid using * it along with CLONE_NEWIPC. */ if ((flags & (CLONE_NEWIPC | CLONE_SYSVSEM)) == (CLONE_NEWIPC | CLONE_SYSVSEM)) return -EINVAL; new_ns = create_new_namespaces(flags, tsk, user_ns, tsk->fs); if (IS_ERR(new_ns)) return PTR_ERR(new_ns); tsk->nsproxy = new_ns; return 0; }可见，copy_namespace() 主要基于“旧的” namespace 创建“新的” namespace，核心函数在于 create_new_namespaces：
/* * Create new nsproxy and all of its the associated namespaces. * Return the newly created nsproxy. Do not attach this to the task, * leave it to the caller to do proper locking and attach it to task. */ static struct nsproxy *create_new_namespaces(unsigned long flags, struct task_struct *tsk, struct user_namespace *user_ns, struct fs_struct *new_fs) { struct nsproxy *new_nsp; int err; // 创建新的 nsproxy new_nsp = create_nsproxy(); if (!new_nsp) return ERR_PTR(-ENOMEM); //创建 mnt namespace new_nsp->mnt_ns = copy_mnt_ns(flags, tsk->nsproxy->mnt_ns, user_ns, new_fs); if (IS_ERR(new_nsp->mnt_ns)) { err = PTR_ERR(new_nsp->mnt_ns); goto out_ns; } //创建 uts namespace new_nsp->uts_ns = copy_utsname(flags, user_ns, tsk->nsproxy->uts_ns); if (IS_ERR(new_nsp->uts_ns)) { err = PTR_ERR(new_nsp->uts_ns); goto out_uts; } //创建 ipc namespace new_nsp->ipc_ns = copy_ipcs(flags, user_ns, tsk->nsproxy->ipc_ns); if (IS_ERR(new_nsp->ipc_ns)) { err = PTR_ERR(new_nsp->ipc_ns); goto out_ipc; } //创建 pid namespace new_nsp->pid_ns_for_children = copy_pid_ns(flags, user_ns, tsk->nsproxy->pid_ns_for_children); if (IS_ERR(new_nsp->pid_ns_for_children)) { err = PTR_ERR(new_nsp->pid_ns_for_children); goto out_pid; } //创建 network namespace new_nsp->net_ns = copy_net_ns(flags, user_ns, tsk->nsproxy->net_ns); if (IS_ERR(new_nsp->net_ns)) { err = PTR_ERR(new_nsp->net_ns); goto out_net; } return new_nsp; // 出错处理 out_net: if (new_nsp->pid_ns_for_children) put_pid_ns(new_nsp->pid_ns_for_children); out_pid: if (new_nsp->ipc_ns) put_ipc_ns(new_nsp->ipc_ns); out_ipc: if (new_nsp->uts_ns) put_uts_ns(new_nsp->uts_ns); out_uts: if (new_nsp->mnt_ns) put_mnt_ns(new_nsp->mnt_ns); out_ns: kmem_cache_free(nsproxy_cachep, new_nsp); return ERR_PTR(err); }
