From 39fd64ae9f471f2d0aee46c5bc8646e9f2494e64 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Tejun Heo Date: Sun, 25 Jun 2017 00:27:17 -0400 Subject: cgroup: "cgroup.subtree_control" should be writeable by delegatee "cgroup.subtree_control" determines which resource types a cgroup wants to control. Unlike actual resource knobs, this is an attribute which belongs to the cgroup itself instead of its parent and thus should be writeable by the delegatee in a delegated cgroup. Update delegation documentation accordingly.
