No, that's not what I wanted - I just wanted to try to cut down the boilerplate required to use resource counters. Ideally it would be as simple as including a call to some function such as "add_res_counter(...)" which would deal with setting up all the cgroup control files, provide handlers, etc. This also helps to keep all the APIs consistent. See the patch that I sent last week entitled "Simplify memory controller and resource counter I/O" for a first step in that direction. > Also, I'd like to be able to share res_counters between > container groups or at-least support a hierarchy. A hierarchy sounds like a good idea. For the sharing, there are two approaches - any subsystem that wants sharing has to implement it itself, or else implement sharing at the control groups level and make it (mostly) transparent to the subsystems. I think I prefer the latter and have been playing with some ways to do this.
