[PATCH RFC v2 0/4] cgroup notifications API and memory thresholds
From: Kirill A. Shutemov
Date: Fri Dec 11 2009 - 17:59:40 EST
This patchset introduces eventfd-based API for notifications in cgroups and
implements memory notifications on top of it.
It uses statistics in memory controler to track memory usage.
Before changes:
Root cgroup
Performance counter stats for './multi-fault 2' (5 runs):

Any comments?
TODO:
- documentation.
v1 -> v2:
- use statistics instead of res_counter to track resource usage;
- fix bugs with locking;
v0 -> v1:
- memsw support implemented.
Kirill A. Shutemov (4):
cgroup: implement eventfd-based generic API for notifications
memcg: extract mem_group_usage() from mem_cgroup_read()
memcg: rework usage of stats by soft limit
memcg: implement memory thresholds
