Yeah, cgroup.events and .stat files as some of the local stats would be useful too, so if we don't flip memory.events we'll end up with sth like cgroup.events.local, memory.events.tree and memory.stats.local, which is gonna be hilarious. If you aren't willing to change your mind, the only option seems to be introducing a mount option to gate the flip and additions of local files. Most likely, userspace will enable the option by default everywhere, so the end result will be exactly the same but I guess it'll better address your concern. Thanks. -- tejun
