From 45531757b45cae0ce64c5aff08c2534d5a0fa3e7 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Daniel Lezcano Date: Wed, 27 Oct 2010 15:33:38 -0700 Subject: cgroup: notify ns_cgroup deprecated The ns_cgroup will be removed very soon. Let's warn, for this version, ns_cgroup is deprecated. Make ns_cgroup and clone_children exclusive. If the clone_children is set and the ns_cgroup is mounted, let's fail with EINVAL when the ns_cgroup subsys is created (a printk will help the user to understand why the creation fails). Update the feature remove schedule file with the deprecated ns_cgroup.
