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.
