From: Matyas Hurtik <redacted> When the vmpressure function marks all sockets within a particular cgroup as under pressure, it can silently reduce network throughput significantly. This socket pressure is not currently signaled in any way to the users, and it is difficult to detect which cgroup is under socket pressure. This patch adds a new tracepoint that is called when a cgroup is under socket pressure.
