Is this function fully implemented?

This function can be more simplified, there is some unnecessary code from old version.


I think it is neccessary to attach the task p to new biog.

I tried to put a process into a group by writing to
"/cgroup/bio/BGROUP/tasks" but failed.

Could you tell me what you actually did? I will try the same thing.

I wanted to test my own scheduler which uses bio tracking information.
SO I tried your patch, especially, get_bio_cgroup_iocontext(), to get
the io_context from bio.

In my test, I made some threads with certain iopriorities run concurrently. To schedule these threads based on their iopriorities,
I made BGROUP directories for each iopriorities.
e.g. /cgroup/bio/be0 ... /cgroup/bio/be7
Then, I tried to attach the processes to the appropriate groups.

But the processes stayed in the original group(id=0).
...

I am sorry but I have to leave now and I cannot come here next week.
--> I will take summer holidays.

I will reply to you later.

Thanks,
