[Devel] [PATCH RHEL7 v21 14/14] ve/cgroup: At cgroup_mark(unmark)_ve_roots skip non-virtualized roots

[Valeriy Vdovin]

During container start there might be a situation when not all cgroup
hierarchies get virtualized by container manager (like vzctl). By
virtualizing a cgroup hierarchy I mean creation of sub-directory within
a particular mounted cgroup. When container starts it looks in css set
of it's init process to list all affilated cgroups and perform actions
on each. But non-virtualized cgroups will also be present in init's css_set
and they should not be touched from inside of any non root ve.
