Subject[PATCH] Documentation: cgroups: Add notes on removing PIDs from tasks and cgroups requiring setup
Date
The cgroup documentation does not specify how a process can be removed from a
particular group. This patch adds a note at the end of the simple example
about how this is done. Also, some cgroups (like cpusets) require user input
before a new group can be used. This is noted in the patch as well.
