Description

CRIU is the most advanced Checkpoint-Restore project on Linux.

But even with CRIU at the moment it is not feasible to checkpoint - restore
all possible topologies of processes and namespaces. Even relatively simple
case of a process tree with two UTS/IPC namespaces is not supported by CRIU,
not mentioning more complex cases like a process tree with more than one PID
namespaces.

In OpenVZ and Virtuozzo versions of CRIU these problems were partially solved
with introduction of the support for nested PID namespaces, several IPC/UTS
namespaces (with respect to USER namespaces) and overlayfs mounts.

These improvements allow us to get basic support of checkpoint-restoring OpenVZ
system containers with Docker containers inside.

We have already prepared several upstream kernel patches [4].
