it's possible to delete a frozen (and empty) cgroup, as well as

+ cgroup.kill
+ A write-only single value file which exists in non-root cgroups.
+ The only allowed value is "1".
+
+ Writing "1" to the file causes the cgroup and all descendant cgroups to
+ be killed. This means that all processes located in the affected cgroup
+ tree will be killed via SIGKILL.
+
+ Killing a cgroup tree will deal with concurrent forks appropriately and
+ is protected against migrations.
+
+ In a threaded cgroup, writing this file fails with EOPNOTSUPP as
+ killing cgroups is a process directed operation, i.e. it affects
+ the whole thread-group.

+ Format: {name of the controller(s) or feature(s) to disable}
The effects of cgroup_disable=foo are:
- foo isn't auto-mounted if you mount all cgroups in
a single hierarchy
- foo isn't visible as an individually mountable
subsystem
+ - if foo is an optional feature then the feature is
+ disabled and corresponding cgroup files are not
+ created
{Currently only "memory" controller deal with this and
cut the overhead, others just disable the usage. So
only cgroup_disable=memory is actually worthy}
+ Specifying "pressure" disables per-cgroup pressure
+ stall information accounting feature
cgroup_no_v1= [KNL] Disable cgroup controllers and named hierarchies in v1
