Technically, it was preparation for "mm: unify inactive_list_is_low()" from "memory book keeping" patchset. So, actually its main purpose is moving all active/inactive size calculation to mm/vmscan.c Also I trying to figure out most sane logic for inactive_ratio calculation, currently global memory reclaimer sometimes uses memcg-calculated ratio, it looks strange. >> --- >> include/linux/memcontrol.h | 16 ++------ >> mm/memcontrol.c | 85 ++++++++++++++++++++++++-------------------- >> mm/vmscan.c | 82 +++++++++++++++++++++++------------------- >> 3 files changed, 93 insertions(+), 90 deletions(-) >> static int mem_cgroup_resize_limit(struct mem_cgroup *memcg, >> unsigned long long val) >> { >> @@ -3422,6 +3416,7 @@ static int mem_cgroup_resize_limit(struct mem_cgroup *memcg, >> else >> memcg->memsw_is_minimum = false; >> } >> + mem_cgroup_update_inactive_ratio(memcg, val); >> mutex_unlock(&set_limit_mutex); >> >> if (!ret) >> @@ -3439,6 +3434,12 @@ static int mem_cgroup_resize_limit(struct mem_cgroup *memcg, >> if (!ret&& enlarge) >> memcg_oom_recover(memcg); >> >> + if (ret) { >> + mutex_lock(&set_limit_mutex); >> + mem_cgroup_update_inactive_ratio(memcg, RESOURCE_MAX); >> + mutex_unlock(&set_limit_mutex); >> + } > > Why RESOUECE_MAX ? resize was failed, so we return back normal value calculated from the current limit. target == RESOURCE_MAX isn't clip limit: min(RESOURCE_MAX, limit) == limit > > Thanks, > -Kame > -- To unsubscribe, send a message with 'unsubscribe linux-mm' in the body to majordomo@kvack.org.
