Are you suggesting to have a userspace accessible cgroup interface for
transferring buffer charges and the target process to use that
interface for requesting the buffer to be charged to its cgroup?
I'm worried about the case when the target process does not request
the transfer after receiving the buffer with this flag set. The charge
would stay with the wrong process and accounting will be invalid.

Technically, since the proposed cgroup supports charge transfer from
the very beginning, the userspace can check if the cgroup is mounted
and if so then it knows this feature is supported.
