Re: [PATCH 0/8] memcg: clean up, export swapiness

From: KAMEZAWA Hiroyuki
Date: Thu May 19 2011 - 23:50:08 EST


From: Ying Han <yinghan@xxxxxxxxxx>
change mem_cgroup's swappiness interface.

Now, memcg's swappiness interface is defined as 'static' and
the value is passed as an argument to try_to_free_xxxx...

This patch adds an function mem_cgroup_swappiness() and export it,
reduce arguments. This interface will be used in async reclaim, later.

I think an function is better than passing arguments because it's
clearer where the swappiness comes from to scan_control.
