per-zone and reclaim enhancements for memory controller: modifies vmscan.c for isolate globa/cgroup lru activity
When using memory controller, there are 2 levels of memory reclaim. 1. zone memory reclaim because of system/zone memory shortage. 2. memory cgroup memory reclaim because of hitting limit. These two can be distinguished by sc->mem_cgroup parameter. (scan_global_lru() macro) This patch tries to make memory cgroup reclaim routine avoid affecting system/zone memory reclaim. This patch inserts if (scan_global_lru()) and hook to memory_cgroup reclaim support functions. This patch can be a help for isolating system lru activity and group lru activity and shows what additional functions are necessary. * mem_cgroup_calc_mapped_ratio() ... calculate mapped ratio for cgroup. * mem_cgroup_reclaim_imbalance() ... calculate active/inactive balance in cgroup. * mem_cgroup_calc_reclaim_active() ... calculate the number of active pages to be scanned in this priority in mem_cgroup. * mem_cgroup_calc_reclaim_inactive() ... calculate the number of inactive pages to be scanned in this priority in mem_cgroup. * mem_cgroup_all_unreclaimable() .. checks cgroup's page is all unreclaimable or not. * mem_cgroup_get_reclaim_priority() ... * mem_cgroup_note_reclaim_priority() ... record reclaim priority (temporal) * mem_cgroup_remember_reclaim_priority() .... record reclaim priority as zone->prev_priority. This value is used for calc reclaim_mapped. [akpm@linux-foundation.org: fix unused var warning] Signed-off-by: KAMEZAWA Hiroyuki <kamezawa.hiroyu@jp.fujitsu.com> Cc: "Eric W.
