Aditya, I gave your patch set a try but it does not work for me. Maybe you can bring some light into the issues I'm facing. Sadly I still had no time to dig into your code.

But I'm unable to mount cgroupfs within the container, mount(2) is failing with EINVAL. And /proc/self/cgroup still shows the cgroup from outside. ---cut--- container:/ # ls /sys/fs/cgroup/ container:/ # mount -t cgroup none /sys/fs/cgroup/ mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on none, missing codepage or helper program, or other error In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try dmesg | tail or so. container:/ # cat /proc/self/cgroup 8:memory:/machine/test00.libvirt-lxc 7:devices:/machine/test00.libvirt-lxc 6:hugetlb:/ 5:cpuset:/machine/test00.libvirt-lxc 4:blkio:/machine/test00.libvirt-lxc 3:cpu,cpuacct:/machine/test00.libvirt-lxc 2:freezer:/machine/test00.libvirt-lxc 1:name=systemd:/user.slice/user-0.slice/session-c2.scope container:/ # ls -la /proc/self/ns total 0 dr-x--x--x 2 root root 0 Dec 14 23:02 . dr-xr-xr-x 8 root root 0 Dec 14 23:02 .. lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 0 Dec 14 23:02 cgroup -> cgroup:[4026532240] lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 0 Dec 14 23:02 ipc -> ipc:[4026532238] lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 0 Dec 14 23:02 mnt -> mnt:[4026532235] lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 0 Dec 14 23:02 net -> net:[4026532242] lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 0 Dec 14 23:02 pid -> pid:[4026532239] lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 0 Dec 14 23:02 user -> user:[4026532234] lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 0 Dec 14 23:02 uts -> uts:[4026532236] container:/ # #host side lxc-os132:~ # ls -la /proc/self/ns total 0 dr-x--x--x 2 root root 0 Dec 14 23:56 . dr-xr-xr-x 8 root root 0 Dec 14 23:56 .. lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 0 Dec 14 23:56 cgroup -> cgroup:[4026531835] lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 0 Dec 14 23:56 ipc -> ipc:[4026531839] lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 0 Dec 14 23:56 mnt -> mnt:[4026531840] lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 0 Dec 14 23:56 net -> net:[4026531957] lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 0 Dec 14 23:56 pid -> pid:[4026531836] lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 0 Dec 14 23:56 user -> user:[4026531837] lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 0 Dec 14 23:56 uts -> uts:[4026531838] ---cut--- Any ideas?
