 Misc
 ----
 
+The Miscellaneous cgroup provides the resource limiting and tracking
+mechanism for the scalar resources which cannot be abstracted like the other
+cgroup resources. Controller is enabled by the CONFIG_CGROUP_MISC config
+option.
+
+A resource can be added to the controller via enum misc_res_type{} in the
+include/linux/misc_cgroup.h file and the corresponding name via misc_res_name[]
+in the kernel/cgroup/misc.c file. Provider of the resource must set its
+capacity prior to using the resource by calling misc_cg_set_capacity().
+
+Once a capacity is set then the resource usage can be updated using charge and
+uncharge APIs. All of the APIs to interact with misc controller are in
+include/linux/misc_cgroup.h.
+
+Misc Interface Files
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+Miscellaneous controller provides 3 interface files. If two misc resources (res_a and res_b) are registered then:
+
+  misc.capacity
+        A read-only flat-keyed file shown only in the root cgroup.  It shows
+        miscellaneous scalar resources available on the platform along with
+        their quantities::
+
+	  $ cat misc.capacity
+	  res_a 50
+	  res_b 10
+
+  misc.current
+        A read-only flat-keyed file shown in the non-root cgroups.  It shows
+        the current usage of the resources in the cgroup and its children.::
+
+	  $ cat misc.current
+	  res_a 3
+	  res_b 0
+
+  misc.max
+        A read-write flat-keyed file shown in the non root cgroups. Allowed
+        maximum usage of the resources in the cgroup and its children.::
+
+	  $ cat misc.max
+	  res_a max
+	  res_b 4
+
+	Limit can be set by::
+
+	  # echo res_a 1 > misc.max
+
+	Limit can be set to max by::
+
+	  # echo res_a max > misc.max
+
+        Limits can be set higher than the capacity value in the misc.capacity
+        file.
+
+Migration and Ownership
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+A miscellaneous scalar resource is charged to the cgroup in which it is used
+first, and stays charged to that cgroup until that resource is freed. Migrating
+a process to a different cgroup does not move the charge to the destination
+cgroup where the process has moved.
