 ## Linux control groups
 
-Also known as cgroups, they are used to restrict resource usage for a container and handle
-device access.  cgroups provide controls to restrict cpu, memory, IO, and network for
-the container. For more information, see the [kernel cgroups documentation](https://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/cgroups/cgroups.txt)
+Also known as cgroups, they are used to restrict resource usage for a container and handle device access.
+For more information, see the [kernel cgroups documentation][cgroups].
+You can configure a container's cgroups via the "resources" field of the Linux configuration.

+### Devices
+
+Container-side devices are [mounted from the bundle filesystems][mount-devices].
+Bundle authors can set major and minor nodes, owner IDs, filesystem permissions, etc. by altering those filesystems.
+However, you cannot pass cgroup information via the bundle filesystem, so bundle authors that need special device cgroups should use the "devices" field of the resource configuration.
+The fields are discussed [in the kernel documentation][cgroups-devices].
+The entries are applied to the container in the order that they are listed in the configuration.

+        {
+            "allow": false,
+            "type": "a",
