Re: How to draw values for /proc/stat

IOW a /proc namespace coupled to cgroup scope would do what you want.
Now my head hurts..

Mine too. The idea is good, but too broad. Boils down to: How do you
couple them? And none of the methods I thought about seemed to make any
sense.

If we really want to have the values in /proc being opted-in, I think
Kamezawa's idea of a mount option is the winner so far.

I'm not cgroup expert, but I doubt it is mount option. I suspect it's
cgroup option. That's said, if we have following two directories,

/cgroup-for-virtualization
/cgroup-for-resource-management

are both directory affected the overlay flag? I don't think it is not
optimal. Why? we must care some system software (e.g. kvm, systemd) are
using cgroup internally and we expected this trend will grow more.

So, I doubt namespace issue can be solved by such tiny patch.
