From 313e924c0852943e67335fad9d2608701f0dfe8e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Grzegorz Nosek Date: Thu, 2 Apr 2009 16:57:23 -0700 Subject: cgroups: relax ns_can_attach checks to allow attaching to grandchild cgroups The ns_proxy cgroup allows moving processes to child cgroups only one level deep at a time. This commit relaxes this restriction and makes it possible to attach tasks directly to grandchild cgroups, e.g.: ($pid is in the root cgroup) echo $pid > /cgroup/CG1/CG2/tasks Previously this operation would fail with -EPERM and would have to be performed as two steps: echo $pid > /cgroup/CG1/tasks echo $pid > /cgroup/CG1/CG2/tasks Also, the target cgroup no longer needs to be empty to move a task there.
