[PATCH 9/9] psi: cgroup support

Johannes Weiner
2018-08-28T17:22:58Z

On a system that executes multiple cgrouped jobs and independent
workloads, we don't just care about the health of the overall system,
but also that of individual jobs, so that we can ensure individual job
health, fairness between jobs, or prioritize some jobs over others.

This patch implements pressure stall tracking for cgroups. In kernels
with CONFIG_PSI=y, cgroup2 groups will have cpu.pressure,
memory.pressure, and io.pressure files that track aggregate pressure
stall times for only the tasks inside the cgroup.

v3:
- fix copy-paste indentation screwups

v4:
- propagate psi_disabled checks outward
- factor out iterate_groups()

+Cgroup2 interface
+=================
+
+In a system with a CONFIG_CGROUP=y kernel and the cgroup2 filesystem
+mounted, pressure stall information is also tracked for tasks grouped
+into cgroups. Each subdirectory in the cgroupfs mountpoint contains
+cpu.pressure, memory.pressure, and io.pressure files; the format is
+the same as the /proc/pressure/ files.
