cgroup membership of a task and the hierarchical relationships of
cgroups can be determined trivially.  Unless the resource in question
needs to and can strictly follow the resource rules for cgroup
controllers, which can become really involving and invasive, the
better and easier approach is using cgroup membership as an extra
information from the subsystem, which is how the network and bpf
handle cgroup membership too.

Thanks.
