+4-1. Model of delegation
+
+A cgroup can be delegated to a less privileged user by granting write
+access of the directory and its "cgroup.procs" file to the user.  Note
+that the resource control knobs in a given directory concern the
+resources of the parent and thus must not be delegated along with the
+directory.
+
+Once delegated, the user can build sub-hierarchy under the directory,
+organize processes as it sees fit and further distribute the resources
+it got from the parent.  The limits and other settings of all resource
+controllers are hierarchical and regardless of what happens in the
+delegated sub-hierarchy, nothing can escape the resource restrictions
+imposed by the parent.
+
+Currently, cgroup doesn't impose any restrictions on the number of
+cgroups in or nesting depth of a delegated sub-hierarchy; however,
+this may in the future be limited explicitly.
+
+
+4-2. Common ancestor rule
+
+On the unified hierarchy, to write to a "cgroup.procs" file, in
+addition to the usual write permission to the file and uid match, the
+writer must also have write access to the "cgroup.procs" file of the
+common ancestor of the source and destination cgroups.  This prevents
+delegatees from smuggling processes across disjoint sub-hierarchies.
+
+Let's say cgroups C0 and C1 have been delegated to user U0 who created
+C00, C01 under C0 and C10 under C1 as follows.
+
+ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ - C0 - C00
+ ~ cgroup    ~      \ C01
+ ~ hierarchy ~
+ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ - C1 - C10
+
+C0 and C1 are separate entities in terms of resource distribution
+regardless of their relative positions in the hierarchy.  The
+resources the processes under C0 are entitled to are controlled by
+C0's ancestors and may be completely different from C1.  It's clear
+that the intention of delegating C0 to U0 is allowing U0 to organize
+the processes under C0 and further control the distribution of C0's
+resources.
+
+On traditional hierarchies, if a task has write access to "tasks" or
+"cgroup.procs" file of a cgroup and its uid agrees with the target, it
+can move the target to the cgroup.  In the above example, U0 will not
+only be able to move processes in each sub-hierarchy but also across
+the two sub-hierarchies, effectively allowing it to violate the
+organizational and resource restrictions implied by the hierarchical
+structure above C0 and C1.
+
+On the unified hierarchy, let's say U0 wants to write the pid of a
+process which has a matching uid and is currently in C10 into
+"C00/cgroup.procs".  U0 obviously has write access to the file and
+migration permission on the process; however, the common ancestor of
+the source cgroup C10 and the destination cgroup C00 is above the
+points of delegation and U0 would not have write access to its
+"cgroup.procs" and thus be denied with -EACCES.
