    memcg: rework usage of stats by soft limit · 378ce724
    Kirill A. Shutemov authored
    Instead of incrementing counter on each page in/out and comparing it with
    constant, we set counter to constant, decrement counter on each page
    in/out and compare it with zero.  We want to make comparing as fast as
    possible.  On many RISC systems (probably not only RISC) comparing with
    zero is more effective than comparing with a constant, since not every
    constant can be immediate operand for compare instruction.
    
    Also, I've renamed MEM_CGROUP_STAT_EVENTS to MEM_CGROUP_STAT_SOFTLIMIT,
    since really it's not a generic counter.
