cgroup and namespaces are used for creating containers but some of

and other tools under container can work as expected(show container's
usage) without changes.

This patch is a trial to show memcg's info in /proc/meminfo if 'current'
is under a memcg other than root.

we show /proc/meminfo base on container's memory cgroup.
because there are lots of info can't be provide by memcg, and
the cmds such as top, free just use some entries of /proc/meminfo,
we replace those entries by memory cgroup.

if container has no memcg, we will show host's /proc/meminfo
as before.

there is no idea how to deal with Buffers,I just set it zero,
It's strange if Buffers bigger than MemTotal.

Nack, this type of thing was initially tried with cpusets when a thread
was bound to a subset of nodes, i.e. only show the total amount of memory
spanned by those nodes.


Hmm. How about having memory.meminfo under memory cgroup directory and
use it with bind mount ? (container tools will be able to help it.)
Then, container applications(top,free,etc..) can read the values they wants.
If admins don't want it, they'll not use bind mount.

Thanks,
