A cgroup is a unit and breaking it down into "reclaim fairness" for individual tasks like this seems suspect to me. For example, if one task in a cgroup is leaking unreclaimable memory like crazy, everyone in that cgroup is going to be penalised by allocator throttling as a result, even if they aren't "responsible" for that reclaim.
