Doc Text:	.`cgroup-v2` enabled by default in RHEL 9 The control groups version 2 (`cgroup-v2`) feature implements a single hierarchy model that simplifies the management of control groups. Also, it ensures that a process can only be a member of a single control group at a time. Deep integration with `systemd` improves the end-user experience when configuring resource control on a RHEL system. Development of new features is mostly done for `cgroup-v2`, which has some features that are missing in `cgroup-v1`. Similarly, `cgroup-v1` contains some legacy features that are missing in `cgroup-v2`. Also, the control interfaces are different. Therefore, third party software with direct dependency on `cgroup-v1` may not run properly in the `cgroup-v2` environment. To use `cgroup-v1`, you need to add the following parameters to the kernel command-line: ---- systemd.unified_cgroup_hierarchy=0 systemd.legacy_systemd_cgroup_controller ---- NOTE: Both `cgroup-v1` and `cgroup-v2` are fully enabled in the kernel. There is no default control group version from the kernel point of view, and is decided by `systemd` to mount at startup.	Story Points:	---

Please note that both cgroup v1 and v2 are fully enabled in the kernel. There is no default from the kernel point of view. The cgroup default is what systemd decides to mount. If it mounts cgroup v2 at startup, v2 is the default. If it mounts cgroup v1 instead, v1 will be the default.
