Subject[PATCH] RSS Container, make page_referenced() container aware
Hi, Pavel,

This patch should help with the shared page issue of one container
holding shared pages in a another container (the container that
brought in the page -- by first touch) hostage.

Make page_referenced() container aware. Without this patch, page_referenced()
can cause a page to be skipped while reclaiming pages. This patch
ensures that other containers do not hold pages in a particular container
hostage. It is required to ensure that shared pages are freed from a container
when they are not actively referenced from the container that brought
them in
