I don't find it ideal to expose this value in its raw form that is
rather an implementation detail.

IIUC, the information is possibly valid only during one jiffy interval.
How would be the userspace consuming this?

I'd consider exposing this as a cummulative counter in memory.stat for
simplicity (or possibly cummulative time spent in the pressure
condition).

Shakeel, how useful is this vmpressure per-cgroup tracking nowadays? I
thought it's kind of legacy.

Thanks,
Michal
