+ * [Description]
+ *
+ * Conversion of the forth kself test in cgroup/test_memcontrol.c.
+ *
+ * Original description:
+ * "First, this test creates the following hierarchy:
+ * A       memory.low = 50M,  memory.max = 200M
+ * A/B     memory.low = 50M,  memory.current = 50M
+ * A/B/C   memory.low = 75M,  memory.current = 50M
+ * A/B/D   memory.low = 25M,  memory.current = 50M
+ * A/B/E   memory.low = 500M, memory.current = 0
+ * A/B/F   memory.low = 0,    memory.current = 50M
+ *
+ * Usages are pagecache
+ * Then it creates A/G and creates a significant
+ * memory pressure in it.
+ *
+ * A/B    memory.current ~= 50M
+ * A/B/C  memory.current ~= 33M
+ * A/B/D  memory.current ~= 17M
+ * A/B/E  memory.current ~= 0
+ *
+ * After that it tries to allocate more than there is unprotected
+ * memory in A available, and checks that memory.low protects
+ * pagecache even in this case."
+ *
+ * The closest thing to memory.low on V1 is soft_limit_in_bytes which
+ * uses a different mechanism and has different semantics. So we only
+ * test on V2 like the selftest. We do test on more file systems, but
+ * not tempfs becaue it can't evict the page cache without swap. Also
+ * we avoid filesystems which allocate extra memory for buffer heads.
+ *
+ * The tolerances have been increased from the self tests.
