What's the overlap, if any, with the current memory limits controlled by `memory.limit_in_bytes` and the above `memory.dirty_limit_in_bytes`? If I want to fairly balance memory between two cgroups be one a dirty page antagonist (dd) and the other an anonymous page (memcache), do I just set `memory.limit_in_bytes`? Does this patch simply provide a more granular level of control of the dirty limits?
Thanks,
Mike
