Just a side note:
We can potentially "fix" this, but it doesn't mean this is a good
practice. In fact, I think this is an anti-pattern to memcgs:
resources should be preferably isolated between memcgs, or if a
resource has to be shared between memcgs, it should be charged in a
predetermined way, not randomly to one of the memcgs sharing it.
