[PATCH v3 06/13] memcg: kmem controller infrastructure

From: Glauber Costa
Date: Tue Sep 18 2012 - 10:09:59 EST


This patch introduces infrastructure for tracking kernel memory pages to
a given memcg. This will happen whenever the caller includes the flag
__GFP_KMEMCG flag, and the task belong to a memcg other than the root.

In memcontrol.h those functions are wrapped in inline acessors. The
idea is to later on, patch those with static branches, so we don't incur
any overhead when no mem cgroups with limited kmem are being used.

[ v2: improved comments and standardized function names ]
[ v3: handle no longer opaque, functions not exported,
even more comments ]
[ v4: reworked Used bit handling and surroundings for more clarity ]
