+--------------------------------------
+
+In the top-level container directory there are a series of

+subsystem is enabled, and can only be modified when there are no

+3. Kernel API
+=============
+
+3.1 Overview
+------------
+
+Each kernel subsystem that wants to hook into the generic container
+system needs to create a container_subsys object. This contains
+various methods, which are callbacks from the container system, along
+with a subsystem id which will be assigned by the container system.
+
+Other fields in the container_subsys object include:
+
+- subsys_id: a unique array index for the subsystem, indicating which
+ entry in container->subsys[] this subsystem should be
+ managing. Initialized by container_register_subsys();
+
+- name: should be initialized to a unique subsystem name prior to
+ calling container_register_subsystem. Should be no longer than
+ MAX_CONTAINER_TYPE_NAMELEN
+
+- enabled: determines whether that container type is in use when
+ creating subcontainers. It's managed by the container system, but
+ may be initialized to either 0 or 1 prior to calling
+ container_register_subsystem
+
+Each container object created by the system has an array of pointers,
+indexed by subsystem id; this pointer is entirely managed by the
+subsystem; the generic container code will never touch this pointer.
+
+Note that all subsystems share the same hierarchy of containers; it's
+not currently possible to have independent hierarchies and container
+memberships for different subsystems.
+
+3.2 Synchronization
+-------------------
+
+There are two global mutexes used by the container system. The first
+is the manage_mutex, which should be taken by anything that wants to
+modify a container; The second if the callback_mutex, which should be
+taken by holders of the manage_mutex at the point when they actually
+make changes, and by callbacks from lower-level subsystems that want
+to ensure that no container changes occur. Note that memory
+allocations cannot be made while holding callback_mutex.
+
+The callback_mutex nests inside the manage_mutex.
+
+In general, the pattern of use is:
+
+1) take manage_mutex
+2) verify that the change is valid and do any necessary allocations\
+3) take callback_mutex
+4) make changes
+5) release callback_mutex
+6) release manage_mutex
+
+See kernel/container.c for more details.
+
+Subsystems can take/release the manage_mutex via the functions
+container_manage_lock()/container_manage_unlock(), and can
+take/release the callback_mutex via the functions
+container_lock()/container_unlock().
+
+Accessing a task's container pointer may be done in the following ways:
+- while holding manage_mutex
+- while holding callback_mutex
+- while holding the task's alloc_lock (via task_lock())
+- inside an rcu_read_lock() section via rcu_dereference()
+
+3.3 Subsystem API
+--------------------------
+
+Each subsystem should call container_register_subsys() with a pointer
+to its subsystem object. This will store the new subsystem id in the
+subsystem subsys_id field and return 0, or a negative error. There's
+currently no facility for deregestering a subsystem nor for
+registering a subsystem after any containers (other than the default
+"top_container") have been created.
+
+Each subsystem may export the following methods. The only mandatory
+methods are create/destroy. Any others that are null are presumed to
+be successful no-ops.
+
+int create(struct container *cont)
+LL=manage_mutex
+
+The subsystem should appropriately initialize its subsystem pointer
+for the passed container, returning 0 on success or a negative error
+code. Typically this will involve allocating a new per-container
+structure and storing a reference to it in the container, but there's
+nothing to stop a subsystem having multiple containers with pointers
+to the same subsystem object. Note that this will be called during
+container_register_subsys() to initialize this subsystem on the root
+container.
+
+void destroy(struct container *cont)
+LL=manage_mutex
+
+The container system is about to destroy the passed container; the
+subsystem should do any necessary cleanup
+
+int can_attach(struct container_subsys *ss, struct container *cont,
+ struct task_struct *task)
+LL=manage_mutex
+
+Called prior to moving a task into a container; if the subsystem
+returns an error, this will abort the attach operation. Note that
+this isn't called on a fork.
+
+void attach(struct container_subsys *ss, struct container *cont,
+ struct container *old_cont, struct task_struct *task)
+LL=manage_mutex & callback_mutex
+
+Called during the attach operation. The subsystem should do any
+necessary work that can be accomplished without memory allocations or
+sleeping.
+
+void post_attach(struct container_subsys *ss, struct container *cont,
+ struct container *old_cont, struct task_struct *task)
+LL=manage_mutex
+
+Called after the task has been attached to the container, to allow any
+post-attachment activity that requires memory allocations or blocking.
+
+int populate(struct container_subsys *ss, struct container *cont)
+LL=none
+
+Called after creation of a container to allow a subsystem to populate
+the container directory with file entries. The subsystem should make
+calls to container_add_file() with objects of type cftype (see
+include/linux/container.h for details). Called during
+container_register_subsys() to populate the root container. Note that
+although this method can return an error code, the error code is
+currently not always handled well.
