[Devel] [PATCH 9/9] [RFC] Example multi-bindable subsystem: a max-depth controller

[Paul Menage]

[RFC] Example multi-bindable subsystem: a max-depth controller

This subsystem introduces a new file, "maxdepth.children", in each
cgroup in its hierarchy.  This value defaults to -1, meaning no
limit. If this maxdepth.children is >= 0, then no child cgroup may be
created below this cgroup at a depth of more than maxdepth.children.
The limit is checked at cgroup creation time for all ancestor cgroups.
