Subject: [PATCH] introduce get_mm_hiwater_xxx(), fix taskstats->hiwater_xxx accounting
Date: Wed, 3 Dec 2008 19:12:20 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20081203181220.GA22918@redhat.com> (raw)

Unless we are going to decrease rss/vm there is no point to call the
(racy) update_hiwater_xxx() helpers. Still do_exit() does this, and
the accounting code uses mm->hiwater_xxx directly.

This is not right. fill_pid()->xacct_add_tsk() can be called by
taskstats_user_cmd() at any time, not only when the task exits.
in that case taskstats->hiwater_xxx can be very wrong.

Introduce get_mm_hiwater_rss() and get_mm_hiwater_vm() to use instead,
and kill the "if (tsk->mm) {}" code in do_exit(). The first helper will
be also used to actually fill/report rusage->ru_maxrss.
