+	Memory controler implements memory thresholds using cgroups notification
+	API. You can use Documentation/cgroups/cgroup_event_listener.c to test
+	it.
+
+	(Shell-A) Create cgroup and run event listener
+	# mkdir /cgroup/A
+	# ./cgroup_event_listener /cgroup/A/memory.usage_in_bytes 5M
+
+	(Shell-B) Add task to cgroup and try to allocate and free memory
+	# echo $$ >/cgroup/A/tasks
+	# a="$(dd if=/dev/zero bs=1M count=10)"
+	# a=
+
+	You will see message from cgroup_event_listener every time you cross
+	the thresholds.
+
+	Use /cgroup/A/memory.memsw.usage_in_bytes to test memsw thresholds.
+
+	It's good idea to test root cgroup as well.
