So, I thought about it more. How about we do "consider / ignore this
node" instead of "(don't) nest beyond this level". For example, let's
assume a tree like the following.
R
/ | \
A B C
/ \
AA AB
If we want to differentiate between AA and AB, we'll have to consider
the whole tree with the previous sheme - A needs to nest, so R needs
to nest and we end up with the whole tree. Instead, if we have honor
/ ignore this node. We can set the honor bit on A, AA and AB and see
the tree as
R
/
A
/ \
AA AB
We still see the intermediate A node but can ignore the other
branches. Implementation and concept-wise, it's fairly simple too.
For any given node and controller, you travel upwards until you meet a
node which has the controller enabled and that's the cgroup the
controller considers.
Thanks.
