367 Provides a memory resource controller that manages both anonymous
368 memory and page cache. (See Documentation/cgroups/memory.txt)
369
370 Note that setting this option increases fixed memory overhead
371 associated with each page of memory in the system. By this,
372 20(40)bytes/PAGE_SIZE on 32(64)bit system will be occupied by memory
373 usage tracking struct at boot. Total amount of this is printed out
374 at boot.
375
376 Only enable when you're ok with these tradeoffs and really
377 sure you need the memory resource controller. Even when you enable
378 this, you can set "cgroup_disable=memory" at your boot option to
379 disable memory resource controller and you can avoid overheads
380 (but lose benefits of memory resource controller).

394 is useful when you want to avoid exhaustion swap but this itself
395 adds more overheads and consumes memory for remembering information.
396 Especially if you use 32bit system or small memory system, please
397 be careful about enabling this. When memory resource controller
398 is disabled by boot option, this will be automatically disabled and
399 there will be no overhead from this. Even when you set this config=y,
400 if boot option "swapaccount=0" is set, swap will not be accounted.
