tracking. The intention is that other subsystems hook into the generic
cgroup support to provide new attributes for cgroups, such as
accounting/limiting the resources which processes in a cgroup can
-access. For example, cpusets (see Documentation/cpusets.txt) allows
+access. For example, cpusets (see Documentation/cgroups/cpusets.txt) allows
you to associate a set of CPUs and a set of memory nodes with the
tasks in each cgroup.
containing the following files describing that cgroup:
- tasks: list of tasks (by pid) attached to that cgroup
- - releasable flag: cgroup currently removeable?
- notify_on_release flag: run the release agent on exit?
- release_agent: the path to use for release notifications (this file
exists in the top cgroup only)
In this directory you can find several files:
# ls
-notify_on_release releasable tasks
+notify_on_release tasks
(plus whatever files added by the attached subsystems)
Now attach your shell to this cgroup:
create() method has been called for the new cgroup).
void pre_destroy(struct cgroup_subsys *ss, struct cgroup *cgrp);
-(cgroup_mutex held by caller)
Called before checking the reference count on each subsystem. This may
be useful for subsystems which have some extra references even if
void attach(struct cgroup_subsys *ss, struct cgroup *cgrp,
struct cgroup *old_cgrp, struct task_struct *task)
+(cgroup_mutex held by caller)
Called after the task has been attached to the cgroup, to allow any
post-attachment activity that requires memory allocations or blocking.
Called during task exit.
int populate(struct cgroup_subsys *ss, struct cgroup *cgrp)
+(cgroup_mutex held by caller)
Called after creation of a cgroup to allow a subsystem to populate
the cgroup directory with file entries. The subsystem should make
always handled well.
void post_clone(struct cgroup_subsys *ss, struct cgroup *cgrp)
+(cgroup_mutex held by caller)
Called at the end of cgroup_clone() to do any paramater
initialization which might be required before a task could attach. For
up.
void bind(struct cgroup_subsys *ss, struct cgroup *root)
-(cgroup_mutex held by caller)
+(cgroup_mutex and ss->hierarchy_mutex held by caller)
Called when a cgroup subsystem is rebound to a different hierarchy
and root cgroup. Currently this will only involve movement between
