Hmmm.... I can see the attraction but there really is nothing which binds that information to cgroup. The same information might as well live in /proc/PID/userland_data or whatever. It may be convenient now but I'm pretty skeptical it's a good idea in the long run. Given that cgroups themselves need to be explicitly created and destroyed, maintaining a parallel tmpfs hierarchy for metadata, if necessary, shouldn't be too bothersome, right?
