After looking codes, I think we need to think
whether independent_kmem_limit is good or not....

How about adding MEMCG_KMEM_ACCOUNT flag instead of this and use only
memcg->res/memcg->memsw rather than adding a new counter, memcg->kmem ?

if MEMCG_KMEM_ACCOUNT is set     -> slab is accoutned to mem->res/memsw.
if MEMCG_KMEM_ACCOUNT is not set -> slab is never accounted.

(I think On/Off switch is required..)

Thanks,
