A cgroup can consume resources even after being deleted by a user. For example, writing back dirty pages should be accounted and limited, despite the corresponding cgroup might contain no processes and being deleted by a user. In the current implementation a cgroup can remain in such "dying" state for an undefined amount of time. For instance, if a memory cgroup contains a pge, mlocked by a process belonging to an other cgroup. Although the lifecycle of a dying cgroup is out of user's control, it's important to have some insight of what's going on under the hood. In particular, it's handy to have a counter which will allow to detect css leaks. To solve this problem, add a cgroup.stat interface to the base cgroup control files with the following metrics: nr_descendants total number of visible descendant cgroups nr_dying_descendants total number of dying descendant cgroups Signed-off-by: Roman Gushchin <guro@fb.com> Suggested-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org> Cc: Zefan Li <lizefan@huawei.com> Cc: Waiman Long <longman@redhat.com> Cc: Johannes Weiner <hannes@cmpxchg.org> Cc: kernel-team@fb.com Cc: cgroups@vger.kernel.org Cc: linux-doc@vger.kernel.org Cc: linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org |

README
Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
