[Devel] [RFC][PATCH][2/4] Add RSS accounting and control

Balbir Singh balbir at in.ibm.com
Sun Feb 18 22:50:34 PST 2007


This patch adds the basic accounting hooks to account for pages allocated
into the RSS of a process. Accounting is maintained at two levels, in
the mm_struct of each task and in the memory controller data structure
associated with each node in the container.

When the limit specified for the container is exceeded, the task is killed.
RSS accounting is consistent with the current definition of RSS in the
kernel. Shared pages are accounted into the RSS of each process as is
done in the kernel currently. The code is flexible in that it can be easily
modified to work with any definition of RSS.
