Ahh yes. Now I understand. I made the description of the containment
rules for cgroup.threads more explicit in the text:
As with writing to cgroup.procs, some containment rules apply when
writing to the cgroup.threads file:
* The writer must have write permission on the cgroup.threads
file in the destination cgroup.
* The writer must have write permission on the cgroup.procs file
in the common ancestor of the source and destination cgroups.
(In some cases, the common ancestor may be the source or desti‐
nation cgroup itself.)
* The source and destination cgroups must be in the same threaded
subtree. (Outside a threaded subtree, an attempt to move a
thread by writing its thread ID to the cgroup.threads in a dif‐
ferent domain cgroup fails with the error EOPNOTSUPP.)
Okay? (I realize that the last bullet point is a rather different way of
formulating your idea that "the only extra restriction is that the domain
cgroup must be the same for the source and destination". But I think the
reformulation is easier to understand, no?)
Cheers,
Michael
