Yes, and thanks for taking my remarks into account.

Honestly, I'm still sitting on the fence whether this needs a new
controller and whether the miscontroller (:-p) is a good approach in the
long term [1].

I admit, I didn't follow the past dicussions completely, however,
(Vipin) could it be in the cover letter/commit messages shortly
summarized why cgroups and a controller were chosen to implement
restrictions of these resources, what were the alternatives any why were
they rejected?

In the previous discussion, I saw the reasoning for the list of the
resources to be hardwired in the controller itself in order to get some
scrutiny of possible changes. That makes sense to me. But with that, is
it necessary to commit to the new controller API via EXPORT_SYMBOL? (I
don't mean this as a licensing question but what the external API should
be (if any).)

Besides the generic remarks above, I'd still suggest some slight
implementation changes, posted inline to the patch.


Thanks,
Michal

[1] Currently, only one thing comes to my mind -- the delegation via
cgroup.subtree_control. The miscontroller may add possibly further
resources whose delegation granularity is bunched up under one entry.
