  • # cat /devcg/devices.list
    a *:* rwm
    # echo a > devices.allow
    # cat /devcg/devices.list
    a *:* rwm
    a 0:0 rwm

    This is odd and maybe confusing. With this patch, writing 'a' to
    devices.allow will add 'a *:* rwm' to the whitelist.

    Also a few fixes and updates to the document.

  • Document that a pid of zero(0) can be used to refer to the current task
    when attaching a task to a cgroup, as in the following usage:

    # echo 0 > /dev/cgroup/tasks

    This is consistent with existing cpuset behavior.

  • Provide documentation of the kernel-doc documentation conventions oriented
    to kernel hackers.

    Since I figure that there will be more people reading this
    kernel-doc-nano-HOWTO.txt file who are kernel developers focused on the
    rest of the kernel, than there will be readers of this file who are
    documentation developers extracting that embedded kernel-doc
    documentation, I have taken the liberty of making the new section added
    here:

    How to format kernel-doc comments

    the first section of the kernel-doc-nano-HOWTO.txt file.

    This first section is intended to introduce, motivate and provide basic
    usage of the kernel-doc mechanism for kernel hackers developing other
    portions of the kernel.
