Hello,
This patchset implements cgroup v2 thread mode. It is largely based
on the discussions that we had at the plumbers last year. Here's the
rough outline.
* Thread mode is explicitly enabled on a cgroup by writing "enable"
into "cgroup.threads" file. The cgroup shouldn't have any child
cgroups or enabled controllers.
* Once enabled, arbitrary sub-hierarchy can be created and threads can
be put anywhere in the subtree by writing TIDs into "cgroup.threads"
file. Process granularity and no-internal-process constraint don't
apply in a threaded subtree.
* To be used in a threaded subtree, controllers should explicitly
declare thread mode support and should be able to handle internal
competition in some way.
* The root of a threaded subtree serves as the resource domain for the
whole subtree. This is where all the controllers are guaranteed to
have a common ground and resource consumptions in the threaded
subtree which aren't tied to a specific thread are charged.
Non-threaded controllers never see beyond thread root and can assume
that all controllers will follow the same rules upto that point.
This allows threaded controllers to implement thread granular resource
control without getting in the way of system level resource
partitioning.
This patchset contains the following five patches. For more details
on the interface and behavior, please refer to the last patch.
