memcg: swappiness
Currently, /proc/sys/vm/swappiness can change swappiness ratio for global reclaim. However, memcg reclaim doesn't have tuning parameter for itself. In general, the optimal swappiness depend on workload. (e.g. hpc workload need to low swappiness than the others.) Then, per cgroup swappiness improve administrator tunability.

+5.3 swappiness
+ Similar to /proc/sys/vm/swappiness, but affecting a hierarchy of groups only.
+
+ Following cgroup's swapiness can't be changed.
+ - root cgroup (uses /proc/sys/vm/swappiness).
+ - a cgroup which uses hierarchy and it has child cgroup.
+ - a cgroup which uses hierarchy and not the root of hierarchy.
+
+
6. Hierarchy support
The memory controller supports a deep hierarchy and hierarchical accounting.
