[PATCH -mmotm 1/2] memcg: dirty pages accounting and limiting infrastructure

From: Andrea Righi
Date: Fri Feb 26 2010 - 17:53:20 EST


Infrastructure to account dirty pages per cgroup and add dirty limit
interfaces in the cgroupfs:

- Active write-out: memory.dirty_ratio, memory.dirty_bytes
- Background write-out: memory.dirty_background_ratio, memory.dirty_background_bytes
