There was a push back from cgroup maintainer Tejun on cgroup interface usage during the previous version of patches. This patch series splits the prior V13 patches to separate the cqos framework parts which just provide APis to manage the closid/cbm management, scheduling, hot cpu etc and the cgroup interface parts into separate patches. Basically splits into parts which dont have any major push back and are mostly reviewed and the ones which have push back.
1/11 - 9/11 contain patches which has only the x86 cqos parts which have received a lot of feedback from tglx and Peter and other x86 specific feedbacks. All the feedbacks are addressed in these patches. These patches include some preparatory patches to improve the hot cpu handling code in cqm and rapl like earlier versions. 10/11 - 11/11 has the cgroup interface patches. *All patches will apply on 4.2* Changes in V14: - separate patches for cache alloc kernel framework and cgroup interface - introduces a field closid in task_struct to keep track of the closid for the task in the framework patches (1/11 - 9/11). The closid field is removed by the cgroup interface patch as we already have a cgroups field in the task_struct which the cgroup interface just uses. - The documentation is also split into two - one for the cache alloc kernel implementation itself and one for cgroup interface.
