From 38aca3071cebc90e6b07abd697cba5c9d7b37a94 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Daniel Xu Date: Thu, 12 Mar 2020 13:03:17 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] cgroupfs: Support user xattrs This patch turns on xattr support for cgroupfs. This is useful for letting non-root owners of delegated subtrees attach metadata to cgroups. One use case is for subtree owners to tell a userspace out of memory killer to bias away from killing specific subtrees. Tests: [/sys/fs/cgroup]# for i in $(seq 0 130); \ do setfattr workload.slice -n user.name$i -v wow; done setfattr: workload.slice: No space left on device setfattr: workload.slice: No space left on device setfattr: workload.slice: No space left on device [/sys/fs/cgroup]# for i in $(seq 0 130); \ do setfattr workload.slice --remove user.name$i; done setfattr: workload.slice: No such attribute setfattr: workload.slice: No such attribute setfattr: workload.slice: No such attribute [/sys/fs/cgroup]# for i in $(seq 0 130); \ do setfattr workload.slice -n user.name$i -v wow; done setfattr: workload.slice: No space left on device setfattr: workload.slice: No space left on device setfattr: workload.slice: No space left on device `seq 0 130` is inclusive, and 131 - 128 = 3, which is the number of errors we expect to see.
