[RFC 0/2] cgroup: New misc cgroup controller

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

 



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.

Thanks
