There are literally two different limits at play.  There's the limit
that the cgroup imposes and then the actual physical limit.

Hitting the cgroup limit induces cgroup reclaim.

Hitting the physical limit induces global reclaim.

Maybe I'm just being dense, but I fail to understand why you would want
to entangle those two different concepts more than absolutely necessary.
