cgroup: make cgroups info more readable

[PATCH] cgroup: make cgroups info more readable

Posted by Huan Yang 1 year, 10 months ago

The current cgroups output format is based on tabs, which
may cause misalignment of output information.

Using placeholder formatting can make the output information
more readable.

I have a question, that, now that only for cgroup1, when I running qemu 
ubuntu, I got this:

 > mount | grep cgroup
 > cgroup2 on /sys/fs/cgroup type cgroup2 
(rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec,relatime,nsdelegate,memory_recursiveprot)

Only cgroup2 mount in my system, but /proc/cgroup also worked, maybe 
better to disable this when only cgroup2 mounted?

I’m not the maintainer, so the official answer to this question should
be left to them:).

However, I don’t think this is the right way. Even though the
information shown by /proc/cgroups doesn’t seem as useful for cgroup2 as
for cgroup1 due to cgroup2 has only single hierarchy, it’s not entirely
useless, IMHO.
