[Devel] [PATCH v13 11/16] mm: list_lru: add per-memcg lists

Vladimir Davydov vdavydov at parallels.com
Mon Dec 9 00:05:52 PST 2013


There are several FS shrinkers, including super_block::s_shrink, that
keep reclaimable objects in the list_lru structure. That said, to turn
them to memcg-aware shrinkers, it is enough to make list_lru per-memcg.

This patch does the trick. It adds an array of LRU lists to the list_lru
structure, one for each kmem-active memcg, and dispatches every item
addition or removal operation to the list corresponding to the memcg the
item is accounted to.

Since we already pass a shrink_control object to count and walk list_lru
functions to specify the NUMA node to scan, and the target memcg is held
in this structure, there is no need in changing the list_lru interface.

The idea lying behind the patch as well as the initial implementation
belong to Glauber Costa.
