[Devel] [PATCH v12 10/18] memcg, list_lru: add per-memcg LRU list infrastructure

Vladimir Davydov vdavydov at parallels.com
Mon Dec 2 03:19:45 PST 2013


FS-shrinkers, which shrink dcaches and icaches, keep dentries and inodes
in list_lru structures in order to evict least recently used objects.
With per-memcg kmem shrinking infrastructure introduced, we have to make
those LRU lists per-memcg in order to allow shrinking FS caches that
belong to different memory cgroups independently.

This patch addresses the issue by introducing struct memcg_list_lru.
This struct aggregates list_lru objects for each kmem-active memcg, and
keeps it uptodate whenever a memcg is created or destroyed. Its
interface is very simple: it only allows to get the pointer to the
appropriate list_lru object from a memcg or a kmem ptr, which should be
further operated with conventional list_lru methods.
