Subject: Re: [PATCH 00/10] cgroups: Task counter subsystem v6

Hello, Frederic.

Can you please rebase the patchset on top of cgroup/for-3.3?  I
primarily like the idea of being able to track process usage w/ cgroup
and enforce limits on it but hope that it could somehow integrate w/
cgroup freezer.  ie. trigger freezer if it goes over limit and let the
userland tool / administrator deal with the frozen cgroup.  I'm
planning on extending cgroup freezer such that it supports recursive
freezing and killing of frozen tasks.  If we can fit task counters
into that, we'll have general method of handling problematic cgroups -
freeze, notify userland and let it deal with it.

Thank you.
