Thanks Kumar.

It sounds like an idea, but the key thing is not about moving
cgroup_mutex unlock before the check IMHO. The user can achieve
compression using the current infra. Compression could actually be
done in the bpf program. user can define and output binary content and
implement a userspace library to parse/decompress when reading out the
data.
