From 31583bb0cf6cc40f2a468a4d2f3b9cbefd24f891 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Michael S. Tsirkin" Date: Thu, 9 Sep 2010 16:37:37 -0700 Subject: cgroups: fix API thinko Add cgroup_attach_task_all() The existing cgroup_attach_task_current_cg() API is called by a thread to attach another thread to all of its cgroups; this is unsuitable for cases where a privileged task wants to attach itself to the cgroups of a less privileged one, since the call must be made from the context of the target task. This patch adds a more generic cgroup_attach_task_all() API that allows both the source task and to-be-moved task to be specified. cgroup_attach_task_current_cg() becomes a specialization of the more generic new function.
