The pressure_level in memcg v1 provides memory pressure notifications to the user space. At the moment it provides notifications for three levels of memory pressure i.e. low, medium and critical, which are defined based on internal memory reclaim implementation details. More specifically the ratio of scanned and reclaimed pages during a memory reclaim. However this is not robust as there are workloads with mostly unreclaimable user memory or kernel memory. For v2, the users can use PSI for memory pressure status of the system or the cgroup. Let's start the deprecation process for pressure_level and add warnings to gather the info on how the current users are using this interface and how they can be used to PSI.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
