A per-cgroup bitmap of task ids would mean (assuming that it's
implemented as a sparse tree like an IDA) that you'd add extra
allocations and possible failure points in the fork path - right now
the fork overhead imposed by the cgroups framework itself is just
linking yourself into your parent's css_set and bumping its refcount.
I guess there probably are workloads where doing more work at
fork/exit time and less at "tasks" scan time is a win, but that has to
be balanced against those where fork/exit performance is more
critical, and the fact that it would be adding another way that fork
could fail.
