From ae3abae64f177586be55b04a7fb7047a34b21a3e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Daisuke Nishimura Date: Thu, 30 Apr 2009 15:08:19 -0700 Subject: memcg: fix mem_cgroup_shrink_usage() Current mem_cgroup_shrink_usage() has two problems. 1. It doesn't call mem_cgroup_out_of_memory and doesn't update last_oom_jiffies, so pagefault_out_of_memory invokes global OOM. 2. Considering hierarchy, shrinking has to be done from the mem_over_limit, not from the memcg which the page would be charged to. mem_cgroup_try_charge_swapin() does all of these things properly, so we use it and call cancel_charge_swapin when it succeeded. The name of "shrink_usage" is not appropriate for this behavior, so we change it too.
