[Devel] [PATCH -mm 4/6] memcg: interface to charge the right cgroup of asynchronous i/o activity

[Andrea Righi]

Implement get_cgroup_from_page() / put_cgroup_from_page() in the cgroup memory
controller to retrieve the owner of a page during writes in submit_bio()
processed asynchronously by kernel threads (i.e. pdflush).

Note: right now this is no more than a hack to keep the things simpler; in
perspective this functionality could/should be provided by bio-cgroup [1],
instead of directly use the memcg page-tracking functionality.
