I don't understand why it needs to be a new API. It seems to me this should be the default behavior of cgroup_get_value_string(). It is inefficient to have this extra test, since users of that API should call cgroup_get_cgroup() themselves. But reality is cgroup_get_cgroup() doesn't work, so I, and possibly others, have code working around it. Therefore, this inefficiency comes only as a penalty for that. Whoever has a use case where is possible to call cgroup_get_cgroup() before cgroup_get_value_string() won't pay it. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Live Security Virtual Conference Exclusive live event will cover all the ways today's security and threat landscape has changed and how IT managers can respond.
