    Task Control Groups: shared cgroup subsystem group arrays · 817929ec
    Paul Menage authored
    Replace the struct css_set embedded in task_struct with a pointer; all tasks
    that have the same set of memberships across all hierarchies will share a
    css_set object, and will be linked via their css_sets field to the "tasks"
    list_head in the css_set.
    
    Assuming that many tasks share the same cgroup assignments, this reduces
    overall space usage and keeps the size of the task_struct down (three pointers
    added to task_struct compared to a non-cgroups kernel, no matter how many
    subsystems are registered).
