Are there any plans to migrate rcfs into sysfs? What would be the pros/cons to each?
No.
There are enough dissimilarities:
- users being allowed to create directories is not possible in sysfs afaik (directories come into existence as a result of kobjects registering with sysfs internally).
- sysfs is fairly insistent on the one/few values per attribute file which we can't guarantee for all controllers. At the very least, we'll have one line per controller in files like shares and stats.
Besides, its useful to have a separately mountable interface. Should users choose not to use CKRM, they don't have to either load the rcfs module or mount it.
