This restriction exists today and > cgroup-namespaces won't change that. I wondered why cgroup namespaces won't change that and looked at your patches in more detail. What you propose as cgroup namespace is much more a cgroup chroot() than a namespace. As you pass relative paths into the namespace you depend on the mount structure of the host side. Hence, the abstraction between namespaces happens on the mount paths of the initial cgroupfs. But we really want a new cgroupfs instance within a container and not just a cut out of the initial cgroupfs mount. I fear you approach is over simplified and won't work for all cases. It may work for your specific use case at Google but we really want something generic. Eric, what do you think?
