I want to write software which needs to receive a signal when the cgroup created by it becomes empty. (After this the empty cgroup should be deleted just not to clutter the memory.)
If the kernel does not support such notifications, it should be improved. This functionality is crucial for some kinds of software. There is /sys/fs/cgroup/systemd/release_agent but I don't understand how to use it. I don't understand why we would need it at all. Starting a binary on emptying a cgroup with the purpose to notify an other binary looks like a big overkill. Also my program should work in userspace without the need to use release_agent which can be accessed only by root. Note that my work is related with sandboxing software (running a program in closed environment, so that it would be unable for example to remove user's files).
