[Devel] [RFC][PATCH] Containers: Pagecache accounting and control subsystem (v1)

This patch adds pagecache accounting and control on top of 
Paul's container subsystem v7 posted at 
http://lkml.org/lkml/2007/2/12/88

Comments, suggestions and criticisms are welcome.

Features:
--------
* New subsystem called 'pagecache_acct' is registered with containers 
* Container pointer is added to struct address_space to keep track of  
  associated container
* In filemap.c and swap_state.c, the corresponding container's 
  pagecache_acct subsystem is charged and uncharged whenever a new 
  page is added or removed from pagecache
* The accounting number include pages in swap cache and filesystem 
  buffer pages apart from pagecache, basically everything under 
  NR_FILE_PAGES is counted as pagecache.  However this excluded 
  mapped and anonymous pages
* Limits on pagecache can be set by echo 100000 > pagecache_limit on 
  the /container file system.  The unit is in kilobytes  
* If the pagecache utilisation limit is exceeded, pagecache reclaim
  code is invoked to recover dirty and clean pagecache pages only.

Advantages:
-----------
* Does not add container pointers in struct page

Limitations:
-----------
* Code is not safe for container deletion/task migration
* Pagecache page reclaim needs performance improvements
* Global LRU is churned in search of pagecache pages

Usage:
-----

* Add patch on top of Paul container (v7) at kernel version 2.6.20
* Enable CONFIG_CONTAINER_PAGECACHE_ACCT in 'General Setup'
* Boot new kernel
* Mount container filesystem 
	mount -t container /container
	cd /container
* Create new container
	mkdir mybox 
	cd /container/mybox
* Add current shell to container
	echo $$ > tasks
* There are two files pagecache_usage and pagecache_limit
* In order to set limit, echo value in kilobytes to pagecache_limit
	echo 100000 > pagecache_limit 
	#This would set 100MB limit on pagecache usage
* Trash the system from current shell using scp/cp/dd/tar etc
* Watch pagecache_usage and /proc/meminfo to verify behavior

* Only unmapped pagecache data will be accounted and controlled.  
  These are memory used by cp, scp, tar etc.  While file mmap will 
  be controlled by Balbir's RSS controller.

ToDo:
----

* Merge with container RSS controller and eliminate redundant code
* Support and test task migration and container deletion
* Review reclaim performance
* Optimise page reclaim
