Subject[PATCH 1/1] cgroup-v1: Grant CAP_SYS_NICE holders permission to move tasks between cgroups
Date
It should be possible for processes with CAP_SYS_NICE capabilities
(privileges) to move lower priority tasks within the same namespace to
different cgroups.

One extremely common example of this is Android's 'system_server',
which moves processes around to different cgroups/cpusets, but should
not require any other root privileges.
