There is another similar name in task_struct, which is cg_list for cgroup list.
I just follow that name to have a rg_list for rdtgroup list.

If you think rdt_group_list is a better name, I sure will change rg_list
to rdt_group_list.

In the patch set, I use the name "rdtgroup" to represent a rdt group.

Should I change the name "rdtgroup" to "rdt_group" in all patches
Including descriptions and code?

Thanks.
