Thread-level control with resource groups
Thread-level control with resource groups
[Kernel] Posted Mar 16, 2016 16:24 UTC (Wed) by corbet
The kernel's control-group mechanism allows processes to be divided into groups for the purposes of tracking and resource control. Both the API and underlying implementation of this mechanism have been going through considerable change in recent years. As part of that change, the newer control-group API has lost the ability to separately manage threads within a process, a loss that is not welcome in some quarters. Current work to replace that functionality is not finding an entirely warm reception either, though.
