Subject: [PATCH] Add cgroup support for enabling controllers at boot time (v2)
From: Paul Menage <menage@...gle.com>
Changelog v2
1. Add enabled support in /proc/cgroups
2. Add support for parsing of several controller names
The effects of cgroup_disable=foo are:
- foo isn't auto-mounted if you mount all cgroups in a single hierarchy
- foo isn't visible as an individually mountable subsystem
As a result there will only ever be one call to foo->create(), at init
time; all processes will stay in this group, and the group will never
be mounted on a visible hierarchy. Any additional effects (e.g. not
allocating metadata) are up to the foo subsystem.
This doesn't handle early_init subsystems (their "disabled" bit isn't
set be, but it could easily be extended to do so if any of the early_init
systems wanted it - I think it would just involve some nastier parameter
processing since it would occur before the command-line argument parser
had been run.
