[PATCH 2/3] memcg: oom notifier

KAMEZAWA Hiroyuki
2010-03-12T05:38:14Z

Adds an interface for notify oom to userland.
Add a new file
memory.oom_control and event for eventfd on that file.

==
From: KAMEZAWA Hiroyuki <kamezawa.hiroyu@jp.fujitsu.com>

Considering containers or other resource management softwares in userland,
event notification of OOM in memcg should be implemented.
Now, memcg has "threshold" notifier which uses eventfd, we can make
use of it for oom notification.

This patch adds oom notification eventfd callback for memcg. The usage
is very similar to threshold notifier, but control file is
memory.oom_control and no arguments other than eventfd is required.

% cgroup_event_notifier /cgroup/A/memory.oom_control dummy
(About cgroup_event_notifier, see Documentation/cgroup/)

Changelog: 20103010
- clean up.
Changelog: 20100309
- splitted from threshold functions. use list rather than array.
- moved all to inside of mutex.
Changelog: 20100304
- renewed implemenation.

+

+
+To register a notifier, application need:
+ - create an eventfd using eventfd(2)
+ - open memory.oom_control file
+ - write string like "<event_fd> <memory.oom_control>" to cgroup.event_control

2. Make per-cgroup scanner reclaim not-shared pages first
