[Devel] [PATCH v5 0/4] cgroup notifications API and memory thresholds

[Kirill A. Shutemov]

This patchset introduces eventfd-based API for notifications in cgroups and
implements memory notifications on top of it.

It uses statistics in memory controler to track memory usage.

Output of time(1) on building kernel on tmpfs:

Any comments?

v4 -> v5:
 - rework  __mem_cgroup_threshold() a bit;
 - drop __mem_cgroup_stat_reset_safe();
 - fixes based on comments.

v3 -> v4:
 - documentation.

v2 -> v3:
 - remove [RFC];
 - rebased to 2.6.33-rc2;
 - fixes based on comments;
 - fixed potential race on event removing;
 - use RCU-protected arrays to track trasholds.

v1 -> v2:
 - use statistics instead of res_counter to track resource usage;
 - fix bugs with locking.

v0 -> v1:
 - memsw support implemented.

Kirill A. Shutemov (4):
  cgroup: implement eventfd-based generic API for notifications
  memcg: extract mem_group_usage() from mem_cgroup_read()
  memcg: rework usage of stats by soft limit
  memcg: implement memory thresholds
