But main intention here is to have some mechanism that would allow to monitor only specific tasks. As we have a sysctl option to enable/disable this mechanism we can at any time fall back to default mechanism of monitoring all tasks.
Alternatively this can be done on task priority basis also, where we have a minimum priority and only tasks with priorities higher than this min priority would be monitored and if we keep this min priority to the least priority , all tasks would be monitored like the default case. Please let me know your feedback regarding this approach.
