I can't write to it now.

# echo $$ >/cgroup/memory/01/cgroup.procs
-bash: echo: write error: Invalid argument
# ls -l /cgroup/memory/01/cgroup.procs
-r--r--r-- 1 root root 0 2010-04-09 10:41 /cgroup/memory/01/cgroup.procs
# uname -a
Linux GibsonE 2.6.34-rc3-mm1-00432-g37c11f5 #1 SMP Thu Apr 8 11:03:39 JST 2010 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

And kernel/cgroup.c says:

   3161         {
   3162                 .name = CGROUP_FILE_GENERIC_PREFIX "procs",
   3163                 .open = cgroup_procs_open,
   3164                 /* .write_u64 = cgroup_procs_write, TODO */
   3165                 .release = cgroup_pidlist_release,
   3166                 .mode = S_IRUGO,
   3167         },

IIRC, it's supported once, but the patch was dropped.


Thanks,
