[PATCH 3/5] memcg: use ID instead of pointer in page_cgroup

From: KAMEZAWA Hiroyuki
Date: Wed Aug 25 2010 - 04:14:13 EST


From: KAMEZAWA Hiroyuki <kamezawa.hiroyu@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

Now, addresses of memory cgroup can be calculated by their ID without complex.
This patch relplaces pc->mem_cgroup from a pointer to a unsigned short.
On 64bit architecture, this offers us more 6bytes room per page_cgroup.
Use 2bytes for blkio-cgroup's page tracking. More 4bytes will be used for
some light-weight concurrent access.

We may able to move this id onto flags field but ...go step by step.

Changelog: 20100824
- fixed comments, and typo.
Changelog: 20100811
- using new rcu APIs, as rcu_dereference_check() etc.
Changelog: 20100804
- added comments to page_cgroup.h
Changelog: 20100730
- fixed some garbage added by debug code in early stage
