Also, note that this is subset of a larger problem. e.g. there's a patchset trying to implement writeback IO control from the filesystem layer. cgroup control of writeback has been a thorny issue for over three years now and the rationale for implementing this reversed controlling scheme is about the same - doing it properly is too difficult, let's bolt something on the top as a practical measure. I think it'd be seriously short-sighted to give in and merge all those. These sorts of shortcuts are crippling in the long term. Again, similarly, proper cgroup writeback support is literally right around the corner. The situation sure can be frustrating if you need something now but we can't make decisions solely on that. This is an a lot longer term project and we better, for once, get things right.
