I don't think extending the device cgroup is the right place for these limits. It is currently a very generic controller and adding various RDMA resources to it looks out of place. Why not create a new controller for rdma? Another thing I noticed is that all limits in this cgroup are global, while the resources they control are hardware device specific. I think it would be better if the cgroup controlled the limits of each device separately. > With this patch, user verbs module queries rdma device cgroup controller > to query process's limit to consume such resource.

Since limits are reflected to user-space when querying a specific device, it will show the same maximum limit on every device opened. If the user opens 3 devices they might expect to be able to open 3 times the number of the resources they actually can.
