Let's avoid the overly abbreviated "cgroups" terminology. Let's instead write: "Linux Control Groups (cgroups)" is the long form wherever the term is introduced in prose. Use "control groups" in the short form wherever the term is used within brief explanations. Follow-up to: #4381

<title>Description</title>
|
|
|
|
<para>Unit configuration files for services, slices, scopes, sockets, mount points, and swap devices share a subset
|
|
of configuration options for resource control of spawned processes. Internally, this relies on the Linux Control
|
|
Groups (cgroups) kernel concept for organizing processes in a hierarchical tree of named groups for the purpose of
|
|
resource management.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>This man page lists the configuration options shared by
|
|
those six unit types. See
|
|
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd.unit</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry>

for more information on the specific unit configuration files. The

resource control configuration options are configured in the

[Slice], [Scope], [Service], [Socket], [Mount], or [Swap]
|
|
sections, depending on the unit type.</para>

<title>Unified and Legacy Control Group Hierarchies</title>
|

|
<para>The unified control group hierarchy is the new version of kernel control group interface, see <ulink
|
|
url="https://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/cgroup-v2.txt">cgroup-v2.txt</ulink>. Depending on the resource type,
|
|
there are differences in resource control capabilities. Also, because of interface changes, some resource types
|
|
have separate set of options on the unified hierarchy.</para>

<para>Due to the lack of consensus in the kernel community, the CPU controller support on the unified

<para>To ease the transition, there is best-effort translation between the two versions of settings. For each

controller, if any of the settings for the unified hierarchy are present, all settings for the legacy hierarchy are

ignored. If the resulting settings are for the other type of hierarchy, the configurations are translated before

application.</para>

<para>Legacy control group hierarchy (see <ulink

url="https://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/cgroup-v1/cgroups.txt">cgroups.txt</ulink>), also called cgroup-v1,
|
|
doesn't allow safe delegation of controllers to unprivileged processes. If the system uses the legacy control group
|
|
hierarchy, resource control is disabled for systemd user instance, see

<literal>char-</literal> or <literal>block-</literal>

according to file name globbing rules, you may hence use the

<literal>char-alsa</literal> are specifiers for all pseudo
