From a42c390cfa0c2612459d7226ba11612847ca3a64 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Michal Hocko Date: Wed, 24 Nov 2010 12:57:08 -0800 Subject: cgroups: make swap accounting default behavior configurable Swap accounting can be configured by CONFIG_CGROUP_MEM_RES_CTLR_SWAP configuration option and then it is turned on by default. There is a boot option (noswapaccount) which can disable this feature. This makes it hard for distributors to enable the configuration option as this feature leads to a bigger memory consumption and this is a no-go for general purpose distribution kernel. On the other hand swap accounting may be very usuful for some workloads. This patch adds a new configuration option which controls the default behavior (CGROUP_MEM_RES_CTLR_SWAP_ENABLED). If the option is selected then the feature is turned on by default. It also adds a new boot parameter swapaccount[=1|0] which enhances the original noswapaccount parameter semantic by means of enable/disable logic (defaults to 1 if no value is provided to be still consistent with noswapaccount). The default behavior is unchanged (if CONFIG_CGROUP_MEM_RES_CTLR_SWAP is enabled then CONFIG_CGROUP_MEM_RES_CTLR_SWAP_ENABLED is enabled as well) Signed-off-by: Michal Hocko Acked-by: Daisuke Nishimura Cc: Balbir Singh Cc: KAMEZAWA Hiroyuki Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds --- init/Kconfig | 13 +++++++++++++ 1 file changed, 13 insertions(+) (limited to 'init') diff --git a/init/Kconfig b/init/Kconfig index 88c10468db4..c9728992a77 100644 --- a/init/Kconfig +++ b/init/Kconfig @@ -613,6 +613,19 @@ config CGROUP_MEM_RES_CTLR_SWAP if boot option "noswapaccount" is set, swap will not be accounted.
