From 67cde9c4938945b9510730c64e68d2f1dd7bc0aa Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Tejun Heo Date: Thu, 3 Dec 2015 10:18:21 -0500 Subject: cgroup_pids: don't account for the root cgroup Because accounting resources for the root cgroup sometimes incurs measureable overhead for workloads which don't care about cgroup and often ends up calculating a number which is available elsewhere in a slightly different form, cgroup is not in the business of providing system-wide statistics. The pids controller which was introduced recently was exposing "pids.current" at the root. This patch disable accounting for root cgroup and removes the file from the root directory. While this is a userland visible behavior change, pids has been available only in one version and was badly broken there, so I don't think this will be noticeable. If it turns out to be a problem, we can reinstate it for v1 hierarchies.
