SubjectRe: [RFC][PATCH -mmotm 4/4] memcg: change try_to_free_pages to hierarchical_reclaim

Yes, that was by design. The design is such that use_hierarchy is set
for all children when the parent has it set and the resource counters
are also linked, such that the charge propagates to the root of the
current hierarchy and not any further.

Looks good to me
