[RFC][mm] [PATCH 2/4] Memory cgroup resource counters for hierarchy (v3)
From: Balbir Singh
Date: Tue Nov 11 2008 - 07:34:39 EST
Add support for building hierarchies in resource counters. Cgroups allows us
to build a deep hierarchy, but we currently don't link the resource counters
belonging to the memory controller control groups, in the same fashion
as the corresponding cgroup entries in the cgroup hierarchy. This patch
provides the infrastructure for resource counters that have the same hiearchy
as their cgroup counter parts.
These set of patches are based on the resource counter hiearchy patches posted
by Pavel Emelianov.
NOTE: Building hiearchies is expensive, deeper hierarchies imply charging
the all the way up to the root. It is known that hiearchies are expensive,
so the user needs to be careful and aware of the trade-offs before creating
very deep ones.
