Subject: linux-next: manual merge of the akpm tree with the cgroup tree

Hi Andrew,

Today's linux-next merge of the akpm tree got a conflict in:

  init/Kconfig

between commit:

  6bf024e69333 ("cgroup: put controller Kconfig options in meaningful order")

from the cgroup tree and commit:

  "mm: memcontrol: introduce CONFIG_MEMCG_LEGACY_KMEM"

from the akpm tree.

I fixed it up (see below) and can carry the fix as necessary (no action
is required).

 -	  Provides a cgroup Resource Controller for HugeTLB pages.
 -	  When you enable this, you can put a per cgroup limit on HugeTLB usage.
 -	  The limit is enforced during page fault. Since HugeTLB doesn't
 -	  support page reclaim, enforcing the limit at page fault time implies
 -	  that, the application will get SIGBUS signal if it tries to access
 -	  HugeTLB pages beyond its limit. This requires the application to know
 -	  beforehand how much HugeTLB pages it would require for its use. The
 -	  control group is tracked in the third page lru pointer. This means
 -	  that we cannot use the controller with huge page less than 3 pages.

 -	help
 -	  This option extends the per-cpu mode to restrict monitoring to
 -	  threads which belong to the cgroup specified and run on the
 -	  designated cpu.
 +	Currently, CFQ IO scheduler uses it to recognize task groups and
 +	control disk bandwidth allocation (proportional time slice allocation)
 +	to such task groups. It is also used by bio throttling logic in
 +	block layer to implement upper limit in IO rates on a device.
  
 -	  Say N if unsure.
 +	This option only enables generic Block IO controller infrastructure.
 +	One needs to also enable actual IO controlling logic/policy. For
 +	enabling proportional weight division of disk bandwidth in CFQ, set
 +	CONFIG_CFQ_GROUP_IOSCHED=y; for enabling throttling policy, set
 +	CONFIG_BLK_DEV_THROTTLING=y.
