The force_empty interface allows to make the memcg only when the cgroup doesn't include any tasks. # echo 0 > /cgroup/xxxx/memory.force_empty If cgroup isn't empty, force_empty does nothing and retruns -EBUSY in usual memcg, memcontrol.c. But hugetlb implementation has inconsitency with it and returns 0 and do nothing. Fix it to return -EBUSY.
