No reason to further complicate the > interface which already is pretty complex. For what it worth, I agree here. Even if we decide to make another interface to vmpressure (which, say, would not require memcg), then it is better to keep the API the same: eventfd + control file. That way, API/ABI-wise there will be no differnce between memcg and non-memcg kernels, which is cool.
