Please note that cgroup2 by and large don't really like or support charge migration or even migrations themselves. We tried that w/ memcg on cgroup1 and it turned out horrible. The expected usage model as decribed in the doc is using migration to seed a cgroup (or even better, use the new clone call to start in the target cgroup) and then stay there until exit. All existing controllers assume this usage model and I'm likely to nack deviation unless there are some super strong justifications. Thanks. -- tejun
