[PATCH 1/3] memcg: oom wakeup filter

KAMEZAWA Hiroyuki
2010-03-12T05:35:32Z

This patch is my answer to a concern for
memcg-fix-oom-kill-behavior-v4.patch
in mmotm. The concern was that patch uses system-wide waitq.

For handling hierarchy, per-mm waitq is not useful...this patch adds
filter at wake-up. Works well on my test.

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

memcg's oom waitqueue is a system-wide wait_queue (for handling hierarchy.)
So, it's better to add custom wake function and do flitering in wake up path.

This patch adds a filtering feature for waking up oom-waiters.
Hierarchy is properly handled.
