Re: [RFC][PATCH 2/5] memcg: uncharge in batched manner

[KAMEZAWA Hiroyuki]

reflreshed..
==
In massive parallel enviroment, res_counter can be a performance bottleneck.
This patch is a trial for reducing lock contention.
One strong techinque to reduce lock contention is reducing calls by
batching some amount of calls int one.

Considering charge/uncharge chatacteristic,
	- charge is done one by one via demand-paging.
	- uncharge is done by
		- in chunk at munmap, truncate, exit, execve...
		- one by one via vmscan/paging.

It seems we hace a chance to batched-uncharge.
This patch is a base patch for batched uncharge. For avoiding
scattering memcg's structure, this patch adds memcg batch uncharge
information to the task. please see start/end usage in next patch.
