Hi Tejun,

this actually reminds me of something that's been on my todo list to
report for some time, but I haven't had time to find the source of the
bug...  And maybe it's already been reported...  but

If I do

	cd /sys/fs/cgroup/memory
	mkdir b
	cd b
	echo 1 > memory.use_hierarchy
	echo 5000 > memory.limit_in_bytes
	cat memory.limit_in_bytes
8192
	mkdir c
	cd c
	cat memory.use_hierarchy
1
	cat memory.limit_in_bytes
9223372036854775807
	echo $$ > tasks
	bash
<killed>

So it seems the hierarchy is being enforced, but not reported in
child limit_in_bytes files.

(Last tested tonight on 3.8.0-17-generic #27-Ubuntu fwiw)
