+The combined memory+swap accounting and limiting is replaced by real
+control over swap space.
+
+The main argument for a combined memory+swap facility in the original
+cgroup design was that global or parental pressure would always be
+able to swap all anonymous memory of a child group, regardless of the
+child's own (possibly untrusted) configuration.  However, untrusted
+groups can sabotage swapping by other means - such as referencing its
+anonymous memory in a tight loop - and an admin can not assume full
+swappability when overcommitting untrusted jobs.
+
+For trusted jobs, on the other hand, a combined counter is not an
+intuitive userspace interface, and it flies in the face of the idea
+that cgroup controllers should account and limit specific physical
+resources.  Swap space is a resource like all others in the system,
+and that's why unified hierarchy allows distributing it separately.
