Subject: [RFC PATCH v3 1/2] cgroup: cgroup.freeze.stat.local time accounting
There isn't yet a clear way to identify a set of "lost" time that
everyone (or at least a wider group of users) cares about. However,
users can perform some delay accounting by iterating over components of
interest. This patch allows cgroup v2 freezing time to be one of those
components.
Track the cumulative time that each v2 cgroup spends freezing and expose
it to userland via a new core interface file in cgroupfs.
To access this value:
$ mkdir /sys/fs/cgroup/test
$ cat /sys/fs/cgroup/test/cgroup.freeze.stat.local
freeze_time_total 0
Ensure consistent freeze time reads with freeze_seq, a per-cgroup
sequence counter. Writes are serialized using the css_set_lock.
