/*
 * This function calculates an individual page counter's effective
 * protection which is derived from its own memory.min/low, its
 * parent's and siblings' settings, as well as the actual memory
 * distribution in the tree.
 *
 * The following rules apply to the effective protection values:
 *
 * 1. At the first level of reclaim, effective protection is equal to
 *    the declared protection in memory.min and memory.low.
 *
 * 2. To enable safe delegation of the protection configuration, at
 *    subsequent levels the effective protection is capped to the
 *    parent's effective protection.
 *
 * 3. To make complex and dynamic subtrees easier to configure, the
 *    user is allowed to overcommit the declared protection at a given
 *    level. If that is the case, the parent's effective protection is
 *    distributed to the children in proportion to how much protection
 *    they have declared and how much of it they are utilizing.
 *
 *    This makes distribution proportional, but also work-conserving:
 *    if one counter claims much more protection than it uses memory,
 *    the unused remainder is available to its siblings.
 *
 * 4. Conversely, when the declared protection is undercommitted at a
 *    given level, the distribution of the larger parental protection
 *    budget is NOT proportional. A counter's protection from a sibling
 *    is capped to its own memory.min/low setting.
 *
 * 5. However, to allow protecting recursive subtrees from each other
 *    without having to declare each individual counter's fixed share
 *    of the ancestor's claim to protection, any unutilized -
 *    "floating" - protection from up the tree is distributed in
 *    proportion to each counter's *usage*. This makes the protection
 *    neutral wrt sibling cgroups and lets them compete freely over
 *    the shared parental protection budget, but it protects the
 *    subtree as a whole from neighboring subtrees.
 *
 * Note that 4. and 5. are not in conflict: 4. is about protecting
 * against immediate siblings whereas 5. is about protecting against
 * neighboring subtrees.
