If you stop responding, we are for sure not getting anywhere. I agree
with you here.

Let me point out one issue that you seem to be missing, and you respond
or not, your call.

"kmem_accounted" is not a switch. It is an internal representation only.
The semantics, that we discussed exhaustively in San Diego, is that a
group that is not limited is not accounted. This is simple and consistent.

Since the limits are still per-cgroup, you are actually proposing more
user-visible complexity than me, since you are adding yet another file,
with its own semantics.

About use cases, I've already responded: my containers use case is kmem
limited. There are people like Michal that specifically asked for
user-only semantics to be preserved. So your question for global vs
local switch (that again, doesn't exist; only a local *limit* exists)
should really be posed in the following way:
"Can two different use cases with different needs be hosted in the same
box?"
