Subject: Implementing a control group manager that isn't a persistent daemon

Hello!
I'm currently implementing a control group manager that isn't a
persistent daemon. Instead, it's a command-line tool. The system
I'm working on uses s6 instead of systemd, and s6 doesn't have native
control group support.
The current plan is to offer a few options:
1. Create a cgroup if it doesn't exist. If it does, wait for it to
be empty. Then execute a program in that cgroup.
2. Create a program in a cgroup, without waiting for the cgroup to
be empty.
2. Kill all programs in a cgroup.
Unfortunately, I'm not able to wait for a cgroup to become empty.
I don't seem to be getting EPOLLPRI or EPOLLERR events. What
is the proper way to get those events? Is there a kernel version
with a bug in this area?
