+5.3 swappiness
+  Similar to /proc/sys/vm/swappiness, but affecting a hierarchy of groups only.
+
+  Following cgroup's swapiness can't be changed.
+  - root cgroup (uses /proc/sys/vm/swappiness).
+  - a cgroup which uses hierarchy and it has child cgroup.
+  - a cgroup which uses hierarchy and not the root of hierarchy.
+
+
 6. Hierarchy support
 
 The memory controller supports a deep hierarchy and hierarchical accounting.
