This patch introduces per-cgroup tcp buffers limitation. This allows

Hi Paul,
The general idea of limiting total socket buffer memory consumed by a
cgroup is a fine idea, but I think it needs to be integrated more
closely with the existing kernel memory cgroup tracking efforts,
especially if you're trying to use as generic a name as "kmem" for it.
Can you be more specific?
The generic part of kmem cgroup in this patch is quite simple. I think
any other patchset would have a very easy time merging things into it.
90 % is sockets.
I agree with Kamezawa's comments that you need a lot more documentation.
Working on it right now.
