Let's take an example:
fd = open(..) /* fd = 3 for example */
lxc_mainloop_add_handler(descr, fd, cb1, data1) fails.
the program take care of the error, it closes the fd
Later, reopen a fd (get 3 for again)
lxc_mainloop_add_handler(desc, fd, cb2, data2) is ok.
When something happen on fd, cb1 with data1 will be called instead of
cb2 with data2, because descr->ev contains 2 entries for fd == 3.

lxc_<cmd>.c and <cmd>.c files use the same log category : lxc_<cmd>.
The symbol is multiply defined and linking statically lxc commands is
not possible.
The patch introduces new log categories with a '_ui' suffix to
differentiate the command line interface from the library routine.

lxc currently does a chroot into the target rootfs. chroot is insecure and
can easily be broken, as demonstrated here:
| root@synergy:~# touch /this_is_the_realrootfs_ouch
| # touch /container/webhost/this_is_the_container
| # lxc-start -n webhost /bin/sh
| # ls this*
| this_is_the_container
| # ./breakchroot
| # ls this*
| this_is_the_realrootfs_ouch
code to break chroot taken from
http://www.bpfh.net/simes/computing/chroot-break.html
Now this can be fixed. As our container has his own mount namespace, we can
easily pivot_root into the rootfs and then unmount all old mounts. The patch
attached add a new config keyword which contains the path to a temporary
mount for the old rootfs (inside the container). This stops the chroot break
method shown before.
Example:
| root@synergy:~# grep pivotdir /var/lib/lxc/webhost/config
| lxc.pivotdir = /oldrootfs
| root@synergy:~# ls -lad /container/webhost/oldrootfs
| drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 2010-01-02 03:59 /container/webhost/oldrootfs
| root@synergy:~# lxc-start -n webhost /bin/sh
| # mount -t proc proc /proc
| # cat /proc/mounts
| rootfs / rootfs rw 0 0
| /dev/root / ext3 rw,relatime,errors=remount-ro,data=writeback 0 0
| devpts /dev/console devpts rw,nosuid,noexec,relatime,gid=5,mode=620,ptmxmode=000 0 0
| proc /proc proc rw,relatime 0 0
| # ls this*
| this_is_the_container
| # ./breakchroot
| # ls this*

The future kernel 2.6.33 will incorporate the macvlan bridge
mode where all the macvlan will be able to communicate if they are
using the same physical interface. This is an interesting feature
to have containers to communicate together. If we are outside of the
container, we have to setup a macvlan on the same physical interface than
the containers and use it to communicate with them.

The lxc-create command is now able to call a sub script to install
a mini template.
Right now, debian is supported.
The rootfs is stored automatically in <lxcpath>/<name>/rootfs

When lxc-destroy is called, the rootfs is deleted with the container
configuration.

The lxc-debian is epurated and consolidated with a better
error handling.
This script is no longer interactive but it installs in a specified
place the debian rootfs.
This script is not supposed to be called directly so it will fall in
libexec path very soon. This script is called by lxc-create
as a template with the right option and the right place.
The debian network configuration is by dhcp.

If you're running (by mistake or typo) (via lxc-start) container that does not
exists it will run with lxc.rootfs=/, meaning that /sbin/init will
restart initialization procedure, efficiently messing host's system,
that may lead to unpredictable results or even destroy (make inaccessible) host
system (by reseting network configuration or something like that).
(Actually, it _did_ destroy system of everyone who tested this).
Actually, I finally lost any meaning of having such a feature for
full-system containers. You may not use hosts's FS - it's described at
above. You may not use some temporary directory - that's nonsense.
This patch forbinds starting container via lxc-start without rcfile and
custom start program, but probably it fixes only small part of problem.
I really don't see much sense in such a feature without ability of
overriding 'default' setting with command line switches. Anyway, default
behaviour should be as save as possible.

The rcfile is parsed in the lxc_start function. This is not the place
to do that. Let's the caller to do that.
In the meantime, we have the lxc_conf structure filled right before
calling the lxc_start function so we can do some sanity check on the
configuration to not break the system when we launch the container.

to mount the rootfs in order to have the system container to remount
