This is tangent to the discussion, we need to revisit why an application other than a daemon managing a set of memcgs would ever need to know the information in /proc/meminfo. No use-case was ever presented in the changelog and its not clear how this is at all relevant. So before changing the kernel, please describe how this actually matters in a real- world scenario.Huh? Don't you know a meanings of a namespace ISOLATION? isolation mean, isolated container shouldn't be able to access global information. If you want to lean container/namespace concept, tasting openvz or solaris container is a good start.
As I said, LXC and namespace isolation is a tangent to the discussion of faking the /proc/meminfo for the memcg context of a thread.
But anyway, I dislike current implementaion. So, I NAK this patch too.
I'm glad you reached that conclusion, but I think you did so for a much different (although unspecified) reason. Thanks.
