[PATCH] mm: memcontrol: let v2 cgroups follow changes in system swappiness

From: Johannes Weiner
Date: Fri Apr 08 2016 - 18:49:21 EST


Cgroup2 currently doesn't have a per-cgroup swappiness setting. We
might want to add one later - that's a different discussion - but
until we do, the cgroups should always follow the system setting.
Otherwise it will be unchangeably set to whatever the ancestor
inherited from the system setting at the time of cgroup creation.
