cgroups: support named cgroups hierarchies
To simplify referring to cgroup hierarchies in mount statements, and to allow disambiguation in the presence of empty hierarchies and multiply-bindable subsystems this patch adds support for naming a new cgroup hierarchy via the "name=" mount option A pre-existing hierarchy may be specified by either name or by subsystems; a hierarchy's name cannot be changed by a remount operation. Example usage: # To create a hierarchy called "foo" containing the "cpu" subsystem mount -t cgroup -oname=foo,cpu cgroup /mnt/cgroup1 # To mount the "foo" hierarchy on a second location mount -t cgroup -oname=foo cgroup /mnt/cgroup2 Signed-off-by: Paul Menage <menage@google.com> Reviewed-by: Li Zefan <lizf@cn.fujitsu.com> Cc: KAMEZAWA Hiroyuki <kamezawa.hiroyu@jp.fujitsu.com> Cc: Balbir Singh <balbir@in.ibm.com> Cc: Dhaval Giani <dhaval@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
