For the CPU controller I was working on, (a fast access to) such a list would

the class limit changes, we need to go and change all its member task's
->load_weight value.
If you don't maintain the per-container task list, I guess I could still
work around it, by either:
- Walk the task table and find relevant members
That doesn't seem like a terrible solution to me, unless you expect
the class limit to be changing incredibly frequently.
If we had multiple subsystems that needed to walk the container member
list on a fast-path operation (e.g. to make a scheduling decision)
that would be a good reason to maintain such a list.
perhaps
- Move p->load_weight to a class structure
Sounds like a good idea if you can do it - but if it's per-process,
how would it fit in the class structure?
