[PATCH] doc: cgroup: correct the wrong information about measure of memory pressure

[Yang Shi]

Since PSI has implemented some kind of measure of memory pressure, the
statement about lack of such measure is not true anymore.

Maybe refer to PSI?

Thanks.

Hi TeJun
I've built the 5.0.0-rc6 kernel with psi option, but I cannot find any
cgroup.controllers when I mounted cgroup2.

[root@bogon /]# uname -r
[root@bogon /]# 5.0.0-rc6+
[root@bogon /]# mount -t cgroup2 none cgroup2/
[root@bogon /]# cat cgroup2/cgroup.controllers
[root@bogon /]
[root@bogon /]# cat cgroup2/cgroup.subtree_control
[root@bogon /]#

What's wrong with this kernel? Or maybe I lost some mount option?

Thanks
Yuzhoujian

I thought so too, but the above "memory.pressure" has already referred 
to PSI. So, I was not sure if we should duplicate PSI information.

I'm not sure what you did before you mounted cgroup2, but if you have 
legacy controllers mounted, you have to unmount them, otherwise 
cgroup.controllers would show up as empty. Or you can pass 
"cgroup_no_v1=" in your kernel parameter.
