this is one of good choice.
but I think it is a bit complex rule.


How about this?

===============
Currently, inactive_ratio of memcg is calculated at setting limit.
because page_alloc.c does so and current implementation is straightforward porting.

However, memcg introduced hierarchy feature recently.
In hierarchy restriction, memory limit is not only decided memory.limit_in_bytes of current cgroup,
but also parent limit and sibling memory usage.

Then, The optimal inactive_ratio is changed frequently.
So, everytime calculation is better.
