memcg: fix pgpgin/pgpgout documentation

2012-01-13T04:13:06Z

The two memcg stats pgpgin/pgpgout have different meaning than the ones in vmstat, which indicates that we picked a bad naming for them. It might be late to change the stat name, but better documentation is always helpful.

Fix up conflict in kernel/cgroup.c due to commit e0197aae59e5: "cgroups: fix a css_set not found bug in cgroup_attach_proc" that already mentioned that the bug is fixed (differently) in Tejun's cgroup patchset. This one, in other words.

Partial revert "Basic kernel memory functionality for the Memory Controller"

2011-12-23T03:37:18Z

This reverts commit e5671dfae59b165e2adfd4dfbdeab11ac8db5bda. After a follow up discussion with Michal, it was agreed it would be better to leave the kmem controller with just the tcp files, deferring the behavior of the other general memory.kmem.* files for a later time, when more caches are controlled. This is because generic kmem files are not used by tcp accounting and it is not clear how other slab caches would fit into the scheme. We are reverting the original commit so we can track the reference. Part of the patch is kept, because it was used by the later tcp code. Conflicts are shown in the bottom. init/Kconfig is removed from the revert entirely. Signed-off-by: Glauber Costa Acked-by: Michal Hocko CC: Kirill A.

cgroup: introduce cgroup_taskset and use it in subsys->can_attach(), cancel_attach() and attach()

2011-12-13T02:12:21Z

Currently, there's no way to pass multiple tasks to cgroup_subsys methods necessitating the need for separate per-process and per-task methods. This patch introduces cgroup_taskset which can be used to pass multiple tasks and their associated cgroups to cgroup_subsys methods. Three methods - can_attach(), cancel_attach() and attach() - are converted to use cgroup_taskset. This unifies passed parameters so that all methods have access to all information. Conversions in this patchset are identical and don't introduce any behavior change. -v2: documentation updated as per Paul Menage's suggestion.

Display current tcp memory allocation in kmem cgroup

2011-12-13T00:04:11Z

This patch introduces kmem.tcp.usage_in_bytes file, living in the kmem_cgroup filesystem. It is a simple read-only file that displays the amount of kernel memory currently consumed by the cgroup.

tcp buffer limitation: per-cgroup limit

2011-12-13T00:04:11Z

This patch uses the "tcp.limit_in_bytes" field of the kmem_cgroup to effectively control the amount of kernel memory pinned by a cgroup. This value is ignored in the root cgroup, and in all others, caps the value specified by the admin in the net namespaces' view of tcp_sysctl_mem. If namespaces are being used, the admin is allowed to set a value bigger than cgroup's maximum, the same way it is allowed to set pretty much unlimited values in a real box.

tcp memory pressure controls

2011-12-13T00:04:10Z

This patch introduces memory pressure controls for the tcp protocol. It uses the generic socket memory pressure code introduced in earlier patches, and fills in the necessary data in cg_proto struct.

socket: initial cgroup code.

2011-12-13T00:04:10Z

The goal of this work is to move the memory pressure tcp controls to a cgroup, instead of just relying on global conditions. To avoid excessive overhead in the network fast paths, the code that accounts allocated memory to a cgroup is hidden inside a static_branch(). This branch is patched out until the first non-root cgroup is created. So when nobody is using cgroups, even if it is mounted, no significant performance penalty should be seen. This patch handles the generic part of the code, and has nothing tcp-specific. Signed-off-by: Glauber Costa Reviewed-by: KAMEZAWA Hiroyuki CC: Kirill A. Shutemov CC: David S. Miller CC: Eric W.
