[PATCH 4/4] memcg: simplify LRU handling by new rule
From: KAMEZAWA Hiroyuki
Date: Wed Dec 14 2011 - 02:53:36 EST
From: KAMEZAWA Hiroyuki <kamezawa.hiroyu@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
Now, at LRU handling, memory cgroup needs to do complicated works
to see valid pc->mem_cgroup, which may be overwritten.
This patch is for relaxing the protocol. This patch guarantees
- when pc->mem_cgroup is overwritten, page must not be on LRU.
By this, LRU routine can believe pc->mem_cgroup and don't need to
check bits on pc->flags. This new rule may adds small overheads to
swapin. But in most case, lru handling gets faster.
After this patch, PCG_ACCT_LRU bit is obsolete and removed.
