Hi Tejun,

Thanks for the reply.  A few clarifying questions:

By this reply, are you suggesting that vendor specific resources will never be acceptable to be managed under cgroup?  Let say a user want to have similar functionality as what cgroup is offering but to manage vendor specific resources, what would you suggest as a solution?  When you say keeping vendor specific resource regulation inside drm or specific drivers, do you mean we should replicate the cgroup infrastructure there or do you mean either drm or specific driver should query existing hierarchy (such as device or perhaps cpu) for the process organization information?

To put the questions in more concrete terms, let say a user wants to expose certain part of a gpu to a particular cgroup similar to the way selective cpu cores are exposed to a cgroup via cpuset, how should we go about enabling such functionality?

Regards,
Kenny
