The existing interface is the cgroup's notification mechanism, I think discussing it is a bit out of scope for my extension. Now, regarding my extension itself and the current vmpressure API, I believe that delivering all events to user-space (ie. w/o any filtering in the kernel) is a better solution. Point is whether we can do it with the current vmpressure API (which is cgroup based) or whether we should move to something else. -- To unsubscribe, send a message with 'unsubscribe linux-mm' in the body to majordomo@xxxxxxxxx.
