Thanks for adding the documentation, now on to more critical questions
1. Any reasons for not using cgroupstats? 2. Is there a user space test application to test this code. IIUC, I need to write a program that uses eventfd(2) and then passes the eventfd descriptor and thresold to cgroup.*event* file and then the program will get notified when the threshold is reached?
