As Dave suggested, I think it would make more sense to have your

and allow the memory controller to track/limit dirty pages for a

Yeah, I'm sure we're going to have to get to setting the dirty ratio
        
        $ cat /proc/sys/vm/dirty_ratio
        40

on a per-container basis at *some* point.  We might as well do it
earlier rather than later.
