    [$] A "kill" button for control groups
    The kernel's control-group mechanism exists
    to partition processes and to
    provide resource guarantees (and limits) for each. Processes running
    within a properly configured control group are unable to deprive
    those running in a different group of their allocated resources (CPU time,
    memory, I/O bandwidth, etc.), and are equally protected from interference
    by others. With few exceptions, control groups are not used to take
    direct actions on processes; Christian Brauner's cgroup.kill
    patch set     is meant to be one of those exceptions.
