Hi,

I have to use the attached patch to allow lxc building in the SUSE build
system. It uses as-needed flag and build thus fails, since -lutil is not
at the appropriate place on the command line.

Ship the manpages in the source tarball made by 'make dist', and clean

distributions not to depend on docbook at lxc build time, because the

Also update the configure warning message to sound less scary.

This patch fix a problem with the commit d983b93c
When the lxc daemonize, it closes fd 0, 1 and 2. But these ones are coming from
inherited fd and they are already in the inherited list of fd. When lxc creates
some file descriptors, they have the number of the previous inherited file
descriptor, so they are closed when we close all the inherited file descriptors.

In order to fix that, the lxc_close_inherited_fd function has been implemented
to close an inherited fd and remove it from the list.

As a previous run may have created a cgroup but died unexpectedly,
the cgroup can be still there when we try to launch the container
again with the same name. This patch removes the directory if it is
present, if this one is not owned by caller or it is in use (that should
not happen), the rmdir will fail with the corresponding errno.

This patch makes lxc to detect a specific cgroup dedicated to lxc
which is mounted with the lxc name. That allows to mount different
cgroup in different places with different options (aka subsystems)
and assign one to be used by lxc. If no such mount point is found,
the first cgroup mount point is used.
Signed-off-by: Daniel Lezcano <dlezcano@fr.ibm.com>

Before this patch a container was able to be started
without mounted cgroup. (only a warning was logged)
But the lxc-ps is using the /proc/<pid>/cgroup to identify
the lxc container in which pid is running.
So to be consistent between all lxc command I force an error
if cgroup is not mounted at time of lxc-execute or lxc-start.

There are several cases:
 * we run the lxc-create as root, the @path@/var/lib/lxc will be created
 * we run the lxc-create as non-root, the creation of the directory will
   fail with "permission denied", so we should call lxc-setcap before
 * we run lxc-setcap (always as root), we create the directory and set
   the permission for everyone.

Hi Daniel and all,
