[lxc-devel] [PATCH RFC] Allow a few basic limits to be set at creation / runtime

Quoting Dwight Engen (dwight.engen at oracle.com):
> Currently, a user has to read kernel/Documentation/cgroups/* to know what
> is available and then apply these using lxc-cgroups to set runtime limits,
> or hand edit the configuration file after creating a container to set them
> permanently.
> 
> This change covers the most common use cases (cpu, memory) by allowing the
> user to specify them to lxc-create, and introduces a new command lxc-ctl
> which allows setting the limits at run-time and/or saving them to the
> containers' config file with the --save option. This functionality is
> analogous to that found in vzctl, or Solaris zonecfg.
> 
> Introduce config_cgroup_find to find an already set cgroup item, and
> use it in config_cgroup() to replace a value instead of appending
> another entry. This means that (in for example lxc-clone) only the last
> duplicate entry will now be written out.

would lxc-cgctl or lxc-limit be a better name, or do you intend to generalize
it to other container controls later?
