I disagree. For simple applications, yes. For full containers, the cgroup in which it lives in is considered part of the external world. It should not have any kind of access to it. Also, tools need to work transparently. That's the same case with /proc/stat, used for top. We can't expect people to recode top to work on containerized environments. -- To unsubscribe, send a message with 'unsubscribe linux-mm' in the body to majordomo@kvack.org.
