[PATCH 7/7] psi: cgroup support

Johannes Weiner
2018-05-07T21:01:35Z

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, cgroups will have cpu.pressure, memory.pressure,
and io.pressure files that track aggregate pressure stall times for
only the tasks inside the cgroup.
