I found we can no longer set limit to 0 with 2.6.27-rcX:
# mount -t cgroup -omemory xxx /mnt
# mkdir /mnt/0
# echo 0 > /mnt/0/memory.limit_in_bytes
bash: echo: write error: Device or resource busy
It turned out 'limit' can't be set to 'usage', which is wrong IMO.

Add an interface to set limit. This is necessary to memory resource
controller because it shrinks usage at set limit.
Other controllers may not need this interface to shrink usage because
shrinking is not necessary or impossible.

Currently res_counter_write() is a raw file handler even though it's
ultimately taking a number, since in some cases it wants to
pre-process the string when converting it to a number.
This patch converts res_counter_write() from a raw file handler to a
write_string() handler; this allows some of the boilerplate
copying/locking/checking to be removed, and simplies the cleanup path,
since these functions are now performed by the cgroups framework.

Ignoring their return values may result in counter underflow in the future -
when the value charged will be uncharged (or in "leaks" - when the value is
not uncharged).
This also prevents from using charging routines to decrement the
counter value (i.e. uncharge it) ;)
(Current code works OK with res_counter, however :) )

This is a very common requirement from people using the resource accounting
facilities (not only memcgroup but also OpenVZ beancounters). They want to
put the cgroup in an initial state without re-creating it.
For example after re-configuring a group people want to observe how this new
configuration fits the group needs without saving the previous failcnt value.
Merge two resets into one mem_cgroup_reset() function to demonstrate how
multiplexing work.
Besides, I have plans to move the files, that correspond to res_counter to the
res_counter.c file and somehow "import" them into controller. I don't know
how to make it gracefully yet, but merging resets of max_usage and failcnt in
one function will be there for sure.

The resource counter is supposed to facilitate the resource accounting of
arbitrary resource (and it already does this for memory controller).
However, it is about to be used in other resources controllers (swap, kernel
memory, networking, etc), so provide a doc describing how to work with it.
This will eliminate all the possible future duplications in the appropriate
controllers' docs.
Fixed errors pointed out by Randy.

This field is the maximal value of the usage one since the counter creation
(or since the latest reset).
To reset this to the usage value simply write anything to the appropriate
cgroup file.

Change the interface to use bytes instead of pages. Page sizes can vary
across platforms and configurations. A new strategy routine has been added
to the resource counters infrastructure to format the data as desired.

Add the page_cgroup to the per cgroup LRU. The reclaim algorithm has
been modified to make the isolate_lru_pages() as a pluggable component. The
scan_control data structure now accepts the cgroup on behalf of which
reclaims are carried out. try_to_free_pages() has been extended to become
cgroup aware.
