We don't know what devices mount on the container device. I think devices mount on the container device are different each vendor's server. If memory device mounts on the container, memory offline easily fails. Other devices may have other concerns. So the following udev rule you write does not work correctly. I think we need to change offline processing for each device. So currently the userspace is responsible for the whole container offlining.
