[RFC][PATCH 0/4] cgroup ID and css refcnt change and memcghierarchy (2008/12/05)

[KAMEZAWA Hiroyuki]

This is a patch set onto mmotm-2.6.28-Dec30.

Still RFC. I'm considering whether I can make this simpler....

Major changes from previous one
	- css->refcnt is unified.
	  I think distributed refcnt is a crazy idea...
	- applied comments to previous version.
	- OOM Kill handler is fixed. (this was broken by hierarchy) 

I may not be able to reply quickly in weekend, sorry.

After this, memcg's hierarchical reclaim will be
==
static struct mem_cgroup *
mem_cgroup_select_victim(struct mem_cgroup *root_mem)
{
        struct cgroup *cgroup, *root_cgroup;
        struct mem_cgroup *ret;
        int nextid, rootid, depth, found;

        root_cgroup = root_mem->css.cgroup;
        rootid = cgroup_id(root_cgroup);
        depth = cgroup_depth(root_cgroup);
        found = 0;

        rcu_read_lock();
        if (!root_mem->use_hierarchy) {
                spin_lock(&root_mem->reclaim_param_lock);
                root_mem->scan_age++;

This can be reused for soft-limit or something fancy featrues.
