net: add network priority cgroup infrastructure (v4)
This patch adds in the infrastructure code to create the network priority cgroup. The cgroup, in addition to the standard processes file creates two control files: 1) prioidx - This is a read-only file that exports the index of this cgroup. This is a value that is both arbitrary and unique to a cgroup in this subsystem, and is used to index the per-device priority map 2) priomap - This is a writeable file. On read it reports a table of 2-tuples <name:priority> where name is the name of a network interface and priority is indicates the priority assigned to frames egresessing on the named interface and originating from a pid in this cgroup This cgroup allows for skb priority to be set prior to a root qdisc getting selected. This is benenficial for DCB enabled systems, in that it allows for any application to use dcb configured priorities so without application modification Signed-off-by: Neil Horman <nhorman@tuxdriver.com> Signed-off-by: John Fastabend <john.r.fastabend@intel.com> CC: Robert Love <robert.w.love@intel.com> CC: "David S.
