Will do if necessary, but hmm, I heard from KAMEZAWA-san that he has already sent
some patches to fix the similar problems on RHEL6, and I prefer his fixes to mine.
Should I(or KAMEZAWA-san?) forward port his patches onto current aa.git ?

Agreed. And I think you'll see some extra changes of memcg in 2.6.36...
Any way, I'll do some test in both RHEL6 and aa.git when I have a time,
and feel free to tell me if you have any troubles in back/forward porting
memcg's fixes.
