I am sorry to beat more on this but finally got around to
http://lkml.kernel.org/r/17b22d53-ad3d-1ba8-854f-fc2a43d86c44@virtuozzo.com
and read the above paragraph once again. I can see how accounting to
a memcg helps to reduce the memory footprint but I fail to see how it
helps the above scenario. Could you clarify wow you set up a limit to
prevent anybody from DoSing other containers by depleting aio_max_nr?
