Yes.

For moniroting cgroups, there are only rough ideas at the moment, and no much
progress has made so far.  I hope to discuss about real needs of this feature
(I didn't make much progress here mainly because there was no many people
pushing this) and the best way for implementing it during the session if
possible.

For monitoring-based memory management of cgroups (via DAMOS), however, DAMOS
provides cgroup-based management action target memory filtering[1].  Using the
feature, you can do cgroups-based access-aware memory management.  The patchset
has merged into the mainline a few days ago.
