[PATCH v8 2/3] cgroups: add per-thread subsystem callbacks

From: Ben Blum
Date: Mon Feb 07 2011 - 20:39:59 EST


Add cgroup subsystem callbacks for per-thread attachment

From: Ben Blum <bblum@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

This patch adds can_attach_task, pre_attach, and attach_task as new callbacks
for cgroups's subsystem interface. Unlike can_attach and attach, these are for
per-thread operations, to be called potentially many times when attaching an
entire threadgroup.

Also, the old "bool threadgroup" interface is removed, as replaced by this.
All subsystems are modified for the new interface - of note is cpuset, which
requires from/to nodemasks for attach to be globally scoped (though per-cpuset
would work too) to persist from its pre_attach to attach_task and attach.

This is a pre-patch for cgroup-procs-writable.patch.
