No Daniel, this is quick *draft* to get a conversation going. Bpf was actually a path suggested by Tejun back in 2018 so I think you are mischaracterizing this quite a bit.
"2018-11-20 Kenny Ho: To put the questions in more concrete terms, let say a user wants to expose certain part of a gpu to a particular cgroup similar to the way selective cpu cores are exposed to a cgroup via cpuset, how should we go about enabling such functionality?
2018-11-20 Tejun Heo: Do what the intel driver or bpf is doing? It's not difficult to hook into cgroup for identification purposes."
