[PATCH cgroup/for-3.11] cgroup: disallow cpuacct if sane_behavior

From: Tejun Heo
Date: Wed Jun 05 2013 - 22:46:58 EST


cpuacct causes duplicate accountings on the scheduler and cpu will
provide equivalent stats. Optimizations for cases where cpu and
cpuacct are co-mounted are being worked on but we want to deprecate it
eventually. Let's disallow cpuacct if __DEVEL__sane_behavior.
