This is just because memcg is just related to memory management and I don't
want it be wide spreaded, 'struct mem_cgroup' has been changed often.

But I don't like to have TCP code in memcgroup.c.

New idea is welcome.

like this ?

struct mem_cgroup_sub_controls {
	struct mem_cgroup *mem;
	union {
		struct tcp_mem_control tcp;
	} data;
};
/* for loosely coupled controls for memcg */
struct memcg_sub_controls_function
{
	struct memcg_sub_controls	(*create)(struct mem_cgroup *);
	struct memcg_sub_controls	(*destroy)(struct mem_cgroup *);
}

int register_memcg_sub_controls(char *name, 
		struct memcg_sub_controls_function *abis);


struct mem_cgroup {
	.....
	.....
	/* Root memcg will have no sub_controls! */
	struct memcg_sub_controls	*sub_controls[NR_MEMCG_SUB_CONTROLS];
}


Maybe some functions should be exported. 

Thanks,
