Hello, This patch is creating a new misc cgroup controller for allocation and tracking of resources which are not abstract like other cgroup controllers. This controller was initially proposed as encryption_id but after the feedbacks, it is now changed to misc cgroup. https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20210108012846.4134815-2-vipinsh@xxxxxxxxxx/ Changes from the encryption_id controller are: 1. There are only 3 files misc.{capacity, max, current} for all resources compared to each resource having their own 3 files in encryption_id cgroup. 2. If a resource capacity is 0 then it is considered inactive and won't show up in control files. 2. This is a lockless implementation similar to page counter APIs compared to single lock implementation in encryption_id cgroup. Please provide any feedback for this RFC or if it is good for merging then I can send a patch for merging.
