Seems rather expensive to walk up the tree for every charge. Especially
if the administrator wants a fine degree of resource control and makes a
tall tree. This would be a problem especially when it comes to resources
that require frequent and fast allocation.

in heirarchical accounting you always have to update all the nodes :/
with flat UBC this doesn't introduce significant overhead.


Except that you eventually have to lock ub0. Seems that the cache line
for that spinlock could bounce quite a bit in such a hot path.
do you mean by ub0 host system ub which we call ub0
or you mean a top ub?

Chandra, doesn't Resource Groups avoid walking more than 1 level up the
hierarchy in the "charge" paths?
