Since this code is still experimental, we are leaving the exact
details of how to move tasks between cgroups when kernel memory
accounting is used as future work.

For now, we simply disallow movement if there are any pending
accounted memory.

Hmm, the kernel memory is not guaranteed as being held by the 'task' ?

How about
"Now, moving task between cgroup is disallowed while the source cgroup 
 containes kmem reference." ?

Hmm.. we need to fix this task-move/rmdir issue before production use.


Thanks,
