Good idea. page_cgroup is extended mem_map anyway.

Is it possible for a page to be owned by two cgroups?
For hierarchical cgroups, it would be easier to report only the bottom level cgroup.

Sure.

Then you may want to include this patch (with modification),
if recording the css id as raw tracing data.

memcg: show memory.id in cgroupfs

The hwpoison test suite need to selectively inject hwpoison to some
targeted task pages, and must not kill important system processes
such as init.

The memory cgroup serves this purpose well. We can put the target
processes under the control of a memory cgroup, tell the hwpoison
injection code the id of that memory cgroup so that it will only
poison pages associated with it.
