Yes, this is effectivelly a deprecated interface but I do agree that we shouldn't really make life of users more complicated than necessary. If the simplest solution to address this is to provide an empty callback then be it. I am not sure but I do not think there are other cgroup interfaces to warrant a more generic solution. -- Michal Hocko SUSE Labs
