(Perhaps I'd suggest allocating/prioritizing the allowances on the hosting side. If simply wrapping "everything" into a non-root cgroup is not enough.)

Good point, That's IMO a better idea, it'd be more consistent with other resources for which there exist global (cgroup independent) kernel constraints (e.g. threads-max sysctl, mem= cmdline, cpu hotplug) that double the root cgroup contraint role. OTOH, this also deepens the precedent of init NS root cgroup being special (more special than a container's root cgroup). My .02€, Michal
