Just so that I'm understanding you correctly. The following is what I was
suggesting. ie. just dropping the union and making the iterator embedded:

struct cgroup_file_ctx {
struct cgroup_namespace ns;

struct {
struct css_task_iter it;
} procs;

struct {
void *trigger;
} psi;
};

and I was wondering whether you wanted something like the following:

struct cgroup_file_ctx {
struct cgroup_namespace ns;
struct css_task_iter it;
void *trigger;
};

Thanks.
