SubjectRe: [PATCH 6/7] cgroups: Add res counter common ancestor searching

Acked-by: Paul Menage <menage@google.com>

There's something distasteful about doing an O(N^2) search on every
charge/uncharge operation, but I guess in general N isn't going to be
more than 2 or 3 so it's not worth optimizing.

If you wanted to avoid the N^2 search then you could add a "depth"
field in struct res_counter, which would be initialized to
parent->depth+1, and then easily get both r1 and r2 to the same depth
before proceeding up the tree in lock step, but that would bloat all
instances of res_counter, which might work out as more expensive in
the long run.
