Is there an actual need for this? This is a theoretical use case I thought of (and raised), but I don't think anybody actually wants this...? Besides, most people who want this can just: 1. Enable zswap writeback on root cgroup (and all non-leaf cgroups). 2. Disable zswap writeback on leaf cgroups on creation by default. 3. Selectively enable zswap writeback for the leaf cgroups. All of this is quite doable in userspace. It's not even _that_ racy - just do this before adding tasks etc. to the cgroup?
