Don't you need is_swap_enabled() check before deciding to do the anon
allocations?

These sleep(1)s do not seem robust. Since kernel keeps the page cache
around, you can convert anon to use tmpfs and use simple cg_run to
trigger the allocations of anon (tmpfs) and file which will remain in
memory even after return from cg_run.
