From b015704450eb727e84c6bc11d7be4052c3ccec0c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Tejun Heo Date: Mon, 12 Dec 2011 18:12:21 -0800 Subject: cgroup: introduce cgroup_taskset and use it in subsys->can_attach(), cancel_attach() and attach() Currently, there's no way to pass multiple tasks to cgroup_subsys methods necessitating the need for separate per-process and per-task methods. This patch introduces cgroup_taskset which can be used to pass multiple tasks and their associated cgroups to cgroup_subsys methods. Three methods - can_attach(), cancel_attach() and attach() - are converted to use cgroup_taskset. This unifies passed parameters so that all methods have access to all information. Conversions in this patchset are identical and don't introduce any behavior change. -v2: documentation updated as per Paul Menage's suggestion.
