+ * cgroup_on_dfl - test whether a cgroup is on the default hierarchy
+ * @cgrp: the cgroup of interest
+ *
+ * The default hierarchy is the v2 interface of cgroup and this function
+ * can be used to test whether a cgroup is on the default hierarchy for
+ * cases where a subsystem should behave differnetly depending on the
+ * interface version.
+ *
+ * The set of behaviors which change on the default hierarchy are still
+ * being determined and the mount option is prefixed with __DEVEL__.
+ *
+ * List of changed behaviors:
+ *
+ * - Mount options "noprefix", "xattr", "clone_children", "release_agent"
+ *   and "name" are disallowed.
+ *
+ * - When mounting an existing superblock, mount options should match.
+ *
+ * - Remount is disallowed.
+ *
+ * - rename(2) is disallowed.
+ *
+ * - "tasks" is removed.  Everything should be at process granularity.  Use
+ *   "cgroup.procs" instead.
+ *
+ * - "cgroup.procs" is not sorted.  pids will be unique unless they got
+ *   recycled inbetween reads.
+ *
+ * - "release_agent" and "notify_on_release" are removed.  Replacement
+ *   notification mechanism will be implemented.
+ *
+ * - "cgroup.clone_children" is removed.
+ *
+ * - "cgroup.subtree_populated" is available.  Its value is 0 if the cgroup
+ *   and its descendants contain no task; otherwise, 1.  The file also
+ *   generates kernfs notification which can be monitored through poll and
+ *   [di]notify when the value of the file changes.
+ *
+ * - cpuset: tasks will be kept in empty cpusets when hotplug happens and
+ *   take masks of ancestors with non-empty cpus/mems, instead of being
+ *   moved to an ancestor.
+ *
+ * - cpuset: a task can be moved into an empty cpuset, and again it takes
+ *   masks of ancestors.
+ *
+ * - memcg: use_hierarchy is on by default and the cgroup file for the flag
+ *   is not created.
+ *
+ * - blkcg: blk-throttle becomes properly hierarchical.
+ *
+ * - debug: disallowed on the default hierarchy.
