* memcgroup: implement failcounter resetPavel Emelyanov2008-04-29
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This is a very common requirement from people using the resource accounting facilities (not only memcgroup but also OpenVZ beancounters). They want to put the cgroup in an initial state without re-creating it. For example after re-configuring a group people want to observe how this new configuration fits the group needs without saving the previous failcnt value. Merge two resets into one mem_cgroup_reset() function to demonstrate how multiplexing work. Besides, I have plans to move the files, that correspond to res_counter to the res_counter.c file and somehow "import" them into controller. I don't know how to make it gracefully yet, but merging resets of max_usage and failcnt in one function will be there for sure.

* memcgroups: add a document describing the resource counter abstractionPavel Emelyanov2008-04-29
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The resource counter is supposed to facilitate the resource accounting of arbitrary resource (and it already does this for memory controller). However, it is about to be used in other resources controllers (swap, kernel memory, networking, etc), so provide a doc describing how to work with it. This will eliminate all the possible future duplications in the appropriate controllers' docs. Fixed errors pointed out by Randy.

* memcgroup: add the max_usage member on the res_counterPavel Emelyanov2008-04-29
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | This field is the maximal value of the usage one since the counter creation (or since the latest reset). To reset this to the usage value simply write anything to the appropriate cgroup file.

* Memory controller improve user interfaceBalbir Singh2008-02-07
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Change the interface to use bytes instead of pages. Page sizes can vary across platforms and configurations. A new strategy routine has been added to the resource counters infrastructure to format the data as desired. Suggested by David Rientjes, Andrew Morton and Herbert Poetzl Tested on a UML setup with the config for memory control enabled.

* Memory controller: add per cgroup LRU and reclaimBalbir Singh2008-02-07
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.
