cgroup_enable_threaded(9)

📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

okay bestie, welcome to cgroup_enable_threaded(9) from the Kernel API Manual — this is the little kernel function that makes a cgroup go threaded, and we're gonna read it together like a group chat 💅✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

cgroup_enable_threaded — make @cgrp threaded. that's the whole name, no cap.

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

int cgroup_enable_threaded (struct cgroup *cgrp );

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

  • cgrp — the target cgroup. like, the one you're trying to make threaded, bestie 🎯

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

So here's the vibe: this function is called when "threaded" is written to the cgroup.type interface file. It tries to make cgrp threaded and join the parent's resource domain. that's the mission, fr fr.

Heads up: this function is never called on the root cgroup, because cgroup.type doesn't exist on it. not even a little. no cap 😭
