+The
+.I memory.events
+should show statistics only for the cgroup itself,
+and not for any descendant cgroups.
+This was the behavior before Linux 5.2.
+Starting in Linux 5.2,
+the default behavior is to include statistics for descendant cgroups in
+.IR memory.events ,
+and this mount option can be used to revert to the legacy behavior.
+This option is system wide and can be set on mount or
+modified through remount only from the initial mount namespace;
+it is silently ignored in noninitial namespaces.
