Note that interfacing with container infrastructure doesn't preclude the
possibility of doing fair-user scheduling (that a normal university server or
desktop user would want). All that is needed is a daemon which listens for uid
change events from kernel (using process-event connector) and moves the task
(whose uid is changing) to an appropriate container for that user.
Primitive source for such a daemon is attached.

The fact that we will have two interface for group scheduler in 2.6.24
is what worries me a bit (one user-id based and other container based).
We would need some mechanism for admin to choose only one interface (and
not both together, otherwise the group definitions may conflict), which
doesn't sound very clean to me.
Ideally I would have liked to hook onto only container infrastructure
and let user-space decide grouping policy (whether user-id based or
something else).
Hmm ..would it help if I maintain a patch outside the mainline which turns on
fair-user scheduling in 2.6.23-rcX? Folks will have to apply that patch on
top of 2.6.23-rcX to use and test fair-user scheduling.
In 2.6.24, when container infrastructure goes in, people can get
fair-user scheduling off-the-shelf by simply starting the daemon attached
at bootup/initrd time.
Or would you rather prefer that I add user-id based interface
permanently and in 2.6.24 introduce a compile/run-time switch for admin
to select one of the two interfaces (user-id based or container-based)?

Yeah ..the container based infrastructure allows for configuring such
things very easily using a fs-based interface. In the absence of that,
we either provide some /proc interface or settle for the non-configurable
default that you mention below.
