[PATCH rfc 0/3] mm: memcg: deprecate cgroup v1 non-hierarchical mode

From: Roman Gushchin
Date: Tue Nov 03 2020 - 16:27:52 EST


The non-hierarchical cgroup v1 mode is a legacy of early days
of the memory controller and doesn't bring any value today.
However, it complicates the code and creates many edge cases
all over the memory controller code.

It's a good time to deprecate it completely. This patchset removes
the internal logic, adjusts the user interface and updates
the documentation. The alt patch removes some bits of the cgroup
core code, which become obsolete.


Roman Gushchin (3):
mm: memcg: deprecate the non-hierarchical mode
docs: cgroup-v1: reflect the deprecation of the non-hierarchical mode
cgroup: remove obsoleted broken_hierarchy and warned_broken_hierarchy
