[PATCH v2 -next] cgroup: update some statememt about delegation

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



The comment in cgroup_file_write is missing some interfaces, such as
'cgroup.threads'. All delegatable files are listed in
'/sys/kernel/cgroup/delegate', so update the comment in cgroup_file_write.
Besides, add a statement that files outside the namespace shouldn't be
visible from inside the delegated namespace.

 Because the resource control interface files in a given directory

 The end results are equivalent for both delegation types.  Once
 delegated, the user can build sub-hierarchy under the directory,
