+ memory.workingset.page_age
+ A read-only histogram which exists on non-root cgroups.
+
+ This breaks down the cgroup's memory footprint into different
+ types of memory and groups them per-node into user-defined coldness
+ bins.
+
+ The output format of memory.workingset.page_age is::
+
+ N0
+ <interval 0 of node 0> type=<type bytes in interval 0 of node 0>
+ <interval 1 of node 0> type=<type bytes in interval 1 of node 0>
+ ...
+ 18446744073709551615 type=<the rest of type bytes of node 0>
+
+ The type of memory can be anon, file, or new types added later.
+ Don't rely on the types remaining fixed. See
+ :ref:`Documentation/admin-guide/mm/workingset_report.rst <workingset_report>`
+ for details.
+
+ memory.workingset.refresh_interval
+ A read-write nested-keyed file which exists on non-root cgroups.
+
+ Setting it to a non-zero value for any node enables working set
+ reporting for that node. The default is 0 for each node. See
+ :ref:`Documentation/admin-guide/mm/workingset_report.rst <workingset_report>`
+ for details.
+
+ memory.workingset.report_threshold
+ A read-write nested-keyed file which exists on non-root cgroups.
+
+ The amount of milliseconds to wait before reporting the working
+ set again. The default is 0 for each node. See
+ :ref:`Documentation/admin-guide/mm/workingset_report.rst <workingset_report>`
