[Devel] [PATCH 1/3] cgroup : add clone_children control file
This patch is sent as an answer to a previous thread around the ns_cgroup.
https://lists.linux-foundation.org/pipermail/containers/2009-June/018627.html
It adds a control file 'clone_children' for a cgroup.
This control file is a boolean specifying if the child cgroup should
be a clone of the parent cgroup or not. The default value is 'false'.
This flag makes the child cgroup to call the post_clone callback of all
the subsystem, if it is available.
At present, the cpuset is the only one which had implemented the post_clone
callback.
The option can be set at mount time by specifying the 'clone_children' mount
option.
