[Devel] [PATCH v4 1/4] cgroups: revamp subsys array
Ben Blum
bblum at andrew.cmu.edu
Wed Dec 30 21:12:31 PST 2009
Make subsys[] able to be dynamically populated to support modular subsystems
From: Ben Blum <bblum at andrew.cmu.edu>
This patch reworks the way the subsys[] array is used so that subsystems can
register themselves after boot time, and enables the internals of cgroups to
be able to handle when subsystems are not present or may appear/disappear.
