Re: [PATCH 4/4] memcg: force use_hierarchy if sane_behavior

[Serge Hallyn <serge.hallyn@ubuntu.com>]

Quoting Tejun Heo (tj@kernel.org):
> Turn on use_hierarchy by default if sane_behavior is specified and
> don't create .use_hierarchy file.
> 
> It is debatable whether to remove .use_hierarchy file or make it ro as
> the former could make transition easier in certain cases; however, the
> behavior changes which will be gated by sane_behavior are intensive
> including changing basic meaning of certain control knobs in a few
> controllers and I don't really think keeping this piece would make
> things easier in any noticeable way, so let's remove it.
