[pve-devel] [PATCH manger/container v2 0/2] detect containers not supporting pure cgroupv2

[Stoiko Ivanov <s.ivanov@proxmox.com>]

changes v1->v2:
incorporated Thomas' feedback (huge thx!) by:
* adding extra handling for Alpine and Devuan container (patch 2/2 for
  pve-container)
* copying the helpers directly to pve6to7 to avoid versioned dependency
  bumps
* refactoring the code in pve6to7 a bit (also returning early for
  Alpine/Devuan)
* adding a 'full' parameter (would be grateful for suggestions for a better
  fitting name) and only running this expensive check if it is provided
  (patch 2/2 for pve-manager)

original cover-letter for v1:
This series addresses the issue of running containers, which boot with a
systemd version which is too old (<232) to support the unified cgroup
hierarchy - This includes CentOS 7 and Ubuntu 16.04 containers.

The patch for pve-container simply logs to syslog with level err to notify
the user. Since container start runs through our stack into systemd
(and back into our stack), I did not see a better option (grateful for
feedback if there is of course).

One alternative might be to mount the container once in vm_start (or the
API calls), check and unmount again - but this seemed a bit expensive to do
unconditionally on every start.

The patch for pve6to7 simply loops through all containers and checks for
the condition

  prestart-hook: detect cgroupv2 incompatible systemd version
  setup: shortcut cgroupv2 support for non-systemd distros
