2008-02-07bugfix for memory cgroup controller: avoid !PageLRU page in ↵KAMEZAWA Hiroyuki
mem_cgroup_isolate_pages This patch makes mem_cgroup_isolate_pages() to be - ignore !PageLRU pages. - fixes the bug that isolation makes no progress if page_zone(page) != zone page once find. (just increment scan in this case.) kswapd and memory migration removes a page from list when it handles a page for reclaiming/migration. Because __isolate_lru_page() doesn't moves page !PageLRU pages, it will be safe to avoid touching !PageLRU() page and its page_cgroup.

2008-02-07bugfix for memory cgroup controller: migration under memory controller fixKAMEZAWA Hiroyuki
While using memory control cgroup, page-migration under it works as following. == 1. uncharge all refs at try to unmap. 2. charge regs again remove_migration_ptes() == This is simple but has following problems. == The page is uncharged and charged back again if *mapped*. - This means that cgroup before migration can be different from one after migration - If page is not mapped but charged as page cache, charge is just ignored (because not mapped, it will not be uncharged before migration) This is memory leak. == This patch tries to keep memory cgroup at page migration by increasing one refcnt during it. 3 functions are added. mem_cgroup_prepare_migration() --- increase refcnt of page->page_cgroup mem_cgroup_end_migration() --- decrease refcnt of page->page_cgroup mem_cgroup_page_migration() --- copy page->page_cgroup from old page to new page. During migration - old page is under PG_locked. - new page is under PG_locked, too. - both old page and new page is not on LRU. These 3 facts guarantee that page_cgroup() migration has no race. Tested and worked well in x86_64/fake-NUMA box.

This patch adds following functions. - clear_page_cgroup(page, pc) - page_cgroup_assign_new_page_group(page, pc) Mainly for cleanup.

2008-02-07memcontrol: move oom task exclusion to tasklist scanDavid Rientjes
Creates a helper function to return non-zero if a task is a member of a memory controller: int task_in_mem_cgroup(const struct task_struct *task, const struct mem_cgroup *mem); When the OOM killer is constrained by the memory controller, the exclusion of tasks that are not a member of that controller was previously misplaced and appeared in the badness scoring function. It should be excluded during the tasklist scan in select_bad_process() instead.

2008-02-07Memory controller: make charging gfp mask awareBalbir Singh
Nick Piggin pointed out that swap cache and page cache addition routines could be called from non GFP_KERNEL contexts. This patch makes the charging routine aware of the gfp context. Charging might fail if the cgroup is over it's limit, in which case a suitable error is returned. This patch was tested on a Powerpc box. I am still looking at being able to test the path, through which allocations happen in non GFP_KERNEL contexts.

Make page_referenced() cgroup aware. Without this patch, page_referenced() can cause a page to be skipped while reclaiming pages. This patch ensures that other cgroups do not hold pages in a particular cgroup hostage.

Add the page_cgroup to the per cgroup LRU. The reclaim algorithm has been modified to make the isolate_lru_pages() as a pluggable component. The scan_control data structure now accepts the cgroup on behalf of which reclaims are carried out. try_to_free_pages() has been extended to become cgroup aware.

2008-02-07Memory controller: memory accountingBalbir Singh
Add the accounting hooks. The accounting is carried out for RSS and Page Cache (unmapped) pages. There is now a common limit and accounting for both. The RSS accounting is accounted at page_add_*_rmap() and page_remove_rmap() time. Page cache is accounted at add_to_page_cache(), __delete_from_page_cache(). Swap cache is also accounted for. Each page's page_cgroup is protected with the last bit of the page_cgroup pointer, this makes handling of race conditions involving simultaneous mappings of a page easier. A reference count is kept in the page_cgroup to deal with cases where a page might be unmapped from the RSS of all tasks, but still lives in the page cache. Credits go to Vaidyanathan Srinivasan for helping with reference counting work of the page cgroup. Almost all of the page cache accounting code has help from Vaidyanathan Srinivasan.
