Is there any user demand for heirarchy right now? I agree that we should
design the API to allow heirarchy, but unless there is a current need for it
I think we should not support actually creating heirarchies. In addition to
the reduction in code complexity, it will simplify the paradigm presented to
the users. I'm a firm believer in not giving users options they will never
use.
The current CPUsets code supports hierarchies, and I believe that
there are people out there who depend on them (right, PaulJ?) Since
CPUsets are at heart a form of resource controller, it would be nice
to have them use the same resource control infrastructure as other
resource controllers (see the generic container patches that I sent
out as an example of this). So that would be at least one user that
requires a hierarchy.
