It seems it affects more text:
The second way of creating a threaded subtree is as follows:
(1) In an existing cgroup, z, that currently has the type do‐
main, we (1.1) enable one or more threaded controllers and
(1.2) make a process a member of z. (These two steps can be
done in either order.) This has the following consequences:
• The type of z becomes domain threaded.
• All of the descendant cgroups of x that were not already
of type threaded are converted to type domain invalid.
(2) As before, we make the threaded subtree usable by writing
the string "threaded" to each of the domain invalid cgroups
under y, in order to convert them to the type threaded.
The 'y' in (2) also seems like it should have been 'z'. Do you agree?
Agreed, that must be what was intended. I'll push the following commit tomorrow.

The manual page for cgroups.7 explains how to create a threaded subtree in this way: 1. In an existing cgroup, z, that currently has the type domain, we (1) enable one or more threaded controllers and (2) make a process a member of z. (These two steps can be done in either order.) This has the following consequences: * The type of z becomes domain threaded. * All of the descendant cgroups of x that were not already of type threaded are converted to type domain invalid. Where the last bullet talks about "x", it should surely talk about "z".
