Thanks for taking a look at this!

Totally agree, will do.

Good catch. I get confused between cgrp->subsys and
task->cgroups->subsys sometimes because of different fallback
behavior. IIUC cgrp->subsys should have NULL if the memory controller
is not enabled (no nearest ancestor fallback), and hence I can use
memory_subsys_enabled() that I defined just above task_memcg() to test
for this (I have no idea why I am not already using it here). Is my
understanding correct?
