This is a simple listener for memory events that handles counter changes
in runtime. It can be set up for a specific memory cgroup v2.
The output example:
=====
$ /tmp/memcg_event_listener test
Initialized MEMCG events with counters:
MEMCG events:
low: 0
high: 0
max: 0
oom: 0
oom_kill: 0
oom_group_kill: 0
Started monitoring memory events from '/sys/fs/cgroup/test/memory.events'...
Received event in /sys/fs/cgroup/test/memory.events:
*** 1 MEMCG oom_kill event, change counter 0 => 1
Received event in /sys/fs/cgroup/test/memory.events:
*** 1 MEMCG oom_kill event, change counter 1 => 2
Received event in /sys/fs/cgroup/test/memory.events:
*** 1 MEMCG oom_kill event, change counter 2 => 3
Received event in /sys/fs/cgroup/test/memory.events:

Received event in /sys/fs/cgroup/test/memory.events:
*** 2 MEMCG max events, change counter 0 => 2
Received event in /sys/fs/cgroup/test/memory.events:
*** 8 MEMCG max events, change counter 2 => 10
*** 1 MEMCG oom event, change counter 0 => 1

Patch series "samples: introduce cgroup events listeners", v3.
To begin with, this patch series relocates the cgroup example code to the
samples/cgroup directory, which is the appropriate location for such code
snippets.
Furthermore, a new memcg events listener is introduced. This listener is
a simple yet effective tool for monitoring memory events and managing
counter changes during runtime.
Additionally, as per Andrew Morton's suggestion, a helpful reminder
comment is included in the memcontrol implementation. This comment serves
to ensure that the samples code is updated whenever new events are added.
This patch (of 3):
Move the cgroup_event_listener for cgroup v1 to the samples directory.
This suggestion was proposed by Andrew Morton during the discussion [1].
