Because VM is getting complex (one of reasons is memcg...), memcg's behavior
is complex. This is a document for memcg's internal behavior.

+ Besides management of swap is one of complicated parts of memcg,
+ call path of swap-in at swapoff is not same as usual swap-in path..
+ It's worth to be tested explicitly.
+
+ For example, test like following is good.
+ (Shell-A)
+ # mount -t cgroup none /cgroup -t memory
+ # mkdir /cgroup/test
+ # echo 40M > /cgroup/test/memory.limit_in_bytes
+ # echo 0 > /cgroup/test/tasks
+ Run malloc(100M) program under this. You'll see 60M of swaps.
+ (Shell-B)
+ # move all tasks in /cgroup/test to /cgroup
+ # /sbin/swapoff -a
+ # rmdir /test/cgroup
+ # kill malloc task.

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