The patch set has seen a fair amount of discussion. Greg Kerr, representing Chrome OS, questioned the control-group interface. Making changes to control groups is a privileged operation, but he would like for unprivileged processes to be able to set their own cookies. To that end, he proposed an API based on ptrace() prctl() calls. Zijlstra replied that the interface issues can be worked out later; first it's necessary to get everything working as desired.Personally I find this surprising because systemd already supports delegating cgroup access: https://systemd.io/CGROUP_DELEGATION/.
