This is just because memcg is just related to memory management and I don't
want it be wide spreaded, 'struct mem_cgroup' has been changed often.

But I don't like to have TCP code in memcgroup.c.

New idea is welcome.

like this ?

struct mem_cgroup_sub_controls {
struct mem_cgroup *mem;
union {
struct tcp_mem_control tcp;
} data;
};
/* for loosely coupled controls for memcg */
struct memcg_sub_controls_function
{
struct memcg_sub_controls (*create)(struct mem_cgroup *);
struct memcg_sub_controls (*destroy)(struct mem_cgroup *);
}

int register_memcg_sub_controls(char *name,
struct memcg_sub_controls_function *abis);


struct mem_cgroup {
.....
.....
/* Root memcg will have no sub_controls! */
struct memcg_sub_controls *sub_controls[NR_MEMCG_SUB_CONTROLS];
}


Maybe some functions should be exported.

Thanks,
