Because VM is getting complex (one of reasons is memcg...), memcg's behavior
is complex. This is a document for memcg's internal behavior.

9.9 Move charges at task migration
Charges associated with a task can be moved along with task migration.
(Shell-A)
#mkdir /cgroup/A
#echo $$ >/cgroup/A/tasks
run some programs which uses some amount of memory in /cgroup/A.
(Shell-B)
#mkdir /cgroup/B
#echo 1 >/cgroup/B/memory.move_charge_at_immigrate
#echo "pid of the program running in group A" >/cgroup/B/tasks
You can see charges have been moved by reading *.usage_in_bytes or
memory.stat of both A and B.
See 8.2 of Documentation/cgroups/memory.txt to see what value should be
written to move_charge_at_immigrate.
