Subject: [PATCH 04/12] cgroup: link cftypes of the same subsystem with the same name
From: Angelo Ruocco <angeloruocco90@...il.com>
When a cgroup policy is activated, it creates its files in its
subsystem directory. Two policies are not able to create a file with
the same name: if a policy tries to create a file that has the same
name as a file created by another policy, the cgroup core stops it,
warns the user about the error, and then proceeds to delete all the
files created by the last policy.
However, in some specific situations, it may be useful for two or more
policies to use a common file, e.g., the I/O schedulers bfq and cfq
have the same "weight" attribute, that changes the behavior of the two
schedulers in a similar way.
This commit prepares the interface that allows two policies of the same
subsystem to share files. It adds a flag CFTYPE_SHARE_FILE for cftypes,
flag that allows cftypes to be linked together if they are part of the
same subsystem and have the same name.
There is a limitation for a cftype that wants to share a file: it can't
have the hooks seq_start/next/stop. The reason is that there is no
consistent way to show portions of a file once multiple cftypes are
attached to it, and thus more than one seq_show() is invoked: there are
neither an univocal start point, nor univocal "next" and "stop"
operations.
