I just don't get why it's there. Maybe, there can be some remote use cases where orthogonal hierarchies can be useful but structuring whole cgroup around that seems really extreme. > I'm not sure on your process hierarchy pie though, I rather like being > able to assign tasks to cgroups of my making without having to mirror > that in the process hierarchy. The only question is whether we want to allow cgroup hierarchy to be completely orthogonal from process tree structure, which I don't think is a good idea. It shouldn't affect trivial use cases. If not explicitly configured, all tasks would live in a single root cgroup - much like every process would belong to the same session if nobody does setsid() since boot (or container). I don't know how the implementation would turn out and it may as well stay separate as it is now but I still think the topology should match pstree.
