+ 9.10 Memory thresholds
+        Memory controler implements memory thresholds using cgroups notification
+        API. You can use Documentation/cgroups/cgroup_event_listener.c to test
+        it.
+
+        (Shell-A) Create cgroup and run event listener
+        # mkdir /cgroup/A
+        # ./cgroup_event_listener /cgroup/A/memory.usage_in_bytes 5M
+
+        (Shell-B) Add task to cgroup and try to allocate and free memory
+        # echo $$ >/cgroup/A/tasks
+        # a="$(dd if=/dev/zero bs=1M count=10)"
+        # a=
+
+        You will see message from cgroup_event_listener every time you cross
+        the thresholds.
+
+        Use /cgroup/A/memory.memsw.usage_in_bytes to test memsw thresholds.
+
+        It's good idea to test root cgroup as well.
