[Bug 1244301] Re: lxc-attach stopped working for docker containers

[Serge Hallyn]

** Description changed:

  I think https://github.com/lxc/lxc/commit/69733b5dd27e6963267ff6473d9b41dfb59a3f0f has fixed this bug and am requesting for a new release of lxc in saucy and trusty.
  The main blocker is that docker containers are hitted by https://github.com/dotcloud/docker/issues/2278 where lxc-attach can no longer attach to them.
  
  Thanks !
+ 
+ =====================
+ 1. impact: containers starte with a custom configuration file cannot be controlled the same way as normal containers.  Instead a custom lxcpath, formed by appending "_anon" to the real lxcpath, must be apssed to lxc-console, lxc-stop, lxc-attach, etc.
+ 2. development fix: don't specify a custom lxcpath
+ 3. stable fix: same as dev fix
+ 4. test case:
+     sudo lxc-create -t ubuntu -n u1
+     sudo lxc-start -n u1 -f /var/lib/lxc/u1/config
+     sudo lxc-info -n u1
+     # shows not running
+ 5. regression potential: this is cherrypicked from upstream and should have no regressions.
+ ========================
