I myself prefer the approach I took, that convert post_clone into post_create, and would prefer if you would pick that up. For me, post_clone is totally a glitch that should not exist. Merging this with post_create gives the following semantics: * A while after cgroup creation, you will get a callback. In that callback, you do whatever initialization you may need that you could not in create. Why is reacting to a flag being set any different? _______________________________________________ Containers mailing list Containers@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.linuxfoundation.org/mailman/listinfo/containers
