[PATCH 1/12] memcg avoid accounting special mappings not on LRU

From: KAMEZAWA Hiroyuki
Date: Thu Sep 25 2008 - 02:06:56 EST


There are not-on-LRU pages which can be mapped and they are not worth to
be accounted. (becasue we can't shrink them and need dirty codes to handle
specical case) We'd like to make use of usual objrmap/radix-tree's protcol
and don't want to account out-of-vm's control pages.

When special_mapping_fault() is called, page->mapping is tend to be NULL
and it's charged as Anonymous page.
insert_page() also handles some special pages from drivers.

This patch is for avoiding to account special pages.
