[PATCH v3 2/8] cgroup: document how cgroup IDs are assigned

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



As cgroup id has been used in netprio cgroup and will be used in memcg,
it's important to make it clear how a cgroup id is allocated.

For example, in netprio cgroup, the id is used as index of anarray.
