344 9.7 swapoff.
345 Besides management of swap is one of complicated parts of memcg,
346 call path of swap-in at swapoff is not same as usual swap-in path..
347 It's worth to be tested explicitly.
348
349 For example, test like following is good.
350 (Shell-A)
351 # mount -t cgroup none /cgroup -t memory
352 # mkdir /cgroup/test
353 # echo 40M > /cgroup/test/memory.limit_in_bytes
354 # echo 0 > /cgroup/test/tasks
355 Run malloc(100M) program under this. You'll see 60M of swaps.
356 (Shell-B)
357 # move all tasks in /cgroup/test to /cgroup
358 # /sbin/swapoff -a
359 # rmdir /test/cgroup
360 # kill malloc task.

362 Of course, tmpfs v.s. swapoff test should be tested, too.
