[RFC][PATCH 2/9] soft limit framework for memcg.

From: KAMEZAWA Hiroyuki
Date: Fri Apr 03 2009 - 04:12:43 EST


From: KAMEZAWA Hiroyuki <kamezawa.hiroyu@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

Add minimal modification for soft limit to res_counter_charge() and memcontol.c
Based on Balbir Singh <balbir@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> 's work but most of
features are removed. (dropped or moved to later patch.)

This is for building a frame to implement soft limit handler in memcg.
- Checks soft limit status at every charge.
- Adds mem_cgroup_soft_limit_check() as a function to detect we need
check now or not.
- mem_cgroup_update_soft_limit() is a function for updates internal status
of soft limit controller of memcg.
- As an experimental, this has no hooks in uncharge path.

Changelog: v1 -> v2
- removed "update" from mem_cgroup_free() (revisit in later patch.)
