[PATCH RFC v0 0/3] cgroup notifications API and memory thresholds

[Kirill A. Shutemov]

It's my first attempt to implement cgroup notifications API and memory
thresholds on top of it. The idea of API was proposed by Paul Menage.

It lacks some important features and need more testing, but I want publish
it as soon as possible to get feedback from community.

TODO:
 - memory thresholds on root cgroup;
 - memsw support;
 - documentation.

[PATCH RFC v0 1/3] cgroup: implement eventfd-based generic API for notifications

[Kirill A. Shutemov]

This patch introduces write-only file "cgroup.event_control" in every
cgroup.

To register new notification handler you need:
- create an eventfd;
- open a control file to be monitored. Callbacks register_event() and
  unregister_event() must be defined for the control file;
- write "<event_fd> <control_fd> <args>" to cgroup.event_control.
  Interpretation of args is defined by control file implementation;

eventfd will be woken up by control file implementation or when the
cgroup is removed.

To unregister notification handler just close eventfd.

[PATCH RFC v0 3/3] memcg: implement memory thresholds

[Kirill A. Shutemov]

It allows to register multiple memory thresholds and gets notifications
when it crosses.

To register a threshold application need:
- create an eventfd;
- open file memory.usage_in_bytes of a cgroup
- write string "<event_fd> <memory.usage_in_bytes> <threshold>" to
  cgroup.event_control.

Application will be notified through eventfd when memory usage crosses
threshold in any direction.

Maybe it would be interesting to do that for the /cgroup/<name>/tasks by 
sending in the event the number of tasks in the cgroup when it changes, 
so it more easy to detect 0 process event and then remove the cgroup 
directory, no ?
