subsystems, type:
# mount -t cgroup -o cpuset,memory hier1 /sys/fs/cgroup/rg1
To change the set of subsystems bound to a mounted hierarchy, just
remount with different options:
# mount -o remount,cpuset,blkio hier1 /sys/fs/cgroup/rg1
Now memory is removed from the hierarchy and blkio is added.
Note this will add blkio to the hierarchy but won't remove memory or
cpuset, because the new options are appended to the old ones:
# mount -o remount,blkio /sys/fs/cgroup/rg1
While remounting cgroups is currently supported, it is not recommend
to use it. Remounting allows changing bound subsystems and
release_agent. Rebinding is hardly useful as it only works when the
hierarchy is empty and release_agent itself should be replaced with
conventional fsnotify. The support for remounting will be removed in
the future.
To Specify a hierarchy's release_agent:
# mount -t cgroup -o cpuset,release_agent="/sbin/cpuset_release_agent" \

int populate(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
calls to cgroup_add_file() with objects of type cftype (see
include/linux/cgroup.h for details). Note that although this
method can return an error code, the error code is currently not
always handled well.
