Hi Anoop, Regardless of usecase, I think this functionality is best handled as LSM functionality instead of cgroup. Tasks which are proposed in this patch are related to access control checks. LSM already has required hooks for socket operations such as bind(), listen() as few small examples. Refer to security_socket_listen() which invokes LSM specific hooks. This is invoked in source/net/socket.c as part of listen() system call. LSM hook callback can check whether a given a process can listen to requested UDP port or not.
