It allows to register multiple memory and memsw thresholds and gets notifications when it crosses. To register a threshold application need: - create an eventfd; - open memory.usage_in_bytes or memory.memsw.usage_in_bytes; - write string like "<event_fd> <memory.usage_in_bytes> <threshold>" to cgroup.event_control. Application will be notified through eventfd when memory usage crosses threshold in any direction. It's applicable for root and non-root cgroup. It uses stats to track memory usage, simmilar to soft limits. It checks if we need to send event to userspace on every 100 page in/out. I guess it's good compromise between performance and accuracy of thresholds.

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. Signed-off-by:

This patchset introduces eventfd-based API for notifications in cgroups and implements memory notifications on top of it. It uses statistics in memory controler to track memory usage.

To register new notification handler you need: - create an eventfd; - open a control file to be monitored. Callbacks register_event() and unregister_event() must be defined for the control file; - write "<event_fd> <control_fd> <args>" to cgroup.event_control. Interpretation of args is defined by control file implementation; eventfd will be woken up by control file implementation or when the cgroup is removed. To unregister notification handler just close eventfd. If you need notification functionality for a control file you have to implement callbacks register_event() and unregister_event() in the struct cftype.

Try to reduce overheads in moving swap charge by: - Adds a new function(__mem_cgroup_put), which takes "count" as a arg and decrement mem->refcnt by "count". - Removed res_counter_uncharge, css_put, and mem_cgroup_put from the path of moving swap account, and consolidate all of them into mem_cgroup_clear_mc. We cannot do that about mc.to->refcnt. These changes reduces the overhead from 1.35sec to 0.9sec to move charges of 1G anonymous memory(including 500MB swap) in my test environment. Signed-off-by:

This patch is another core part of this move-charge-at-task-migration feature. It enables moving charges of anonymous swaps. To move the charge of swap, we need to exchange swap_cgroup's record. In current implementation, swap_cgroup's record is protected by: - page lock: if the entry is on swap cache. - swap_lock: if the entry is not on swap cache. This works well in usual swap-in/out activity. But this behavior make the feature of moving swap charge check many conditions to exchange swap_cgroup's record safely. So I changed modification of swap_cgroup's recored(swap_cgroup_record()) to use xchg, and define a new function to cmpxchg swap_cgroup's record. This patch also enables moving charge of non pte_present but not uncharged swap caches, which can be exist on swap-out path, by getting the target pages via find_get_page() as do_mincore() does.

Try to reduce overheads in moving charge by: - Instead of calling res_counter_uncharge() against the old cgroup in __mem_cgroup_move_account() everytime, call res_counter_uncharge() at the end of task migration once. - removed css_get(&to->css) from __mem_cgroup_move_account() because callers should have already called css_get(). And removed css_put(&to->css) too, which was called by callers of move_account on success of move_account. - Instead of calling __mem_cgroup_try_charge(), i.e. res_counter_charge(), repeatedly, call res_counter_charge(PAGE_SIZE * count) in can_attach() if possible. - Instead of calling css_get()/css_put() repeatedly, make use of coalesce __css_get()/__css_put() if possible. These changes reduces the overhead from 1.7sec to 0.6sec to move charges of 1G anonymous memory in my test environment. Signed-off-by:

This patch is the core part of this move-charge-at-task-migration feature. It implements functions to move charges of anonymous pages mapped only by the target task. Implementation: - define struct move_charge_struct and a valuable of it(mc) to remember the count of pre-charges and other information. - At can_attach(), get anon_rss of the target mm, call __mem_cgroup_try_charge() repeatedly and count up mc.precharge. - At attach(), parse the page table, find a target page to be move, and call mem_cgroup_move_account() about the page. - Cancel all precharges if mc.precharge > 0 on failure or at the end of task move.

In current memcg, charges associated with a task aren't moved to the new cgroup at task migration. Some users feel this behavior to be strange. These patches are for this feature, that is, for charging to the new cgroup and, of course, uncharging from the old cgroup at task migration. This patch adds "memory.move_charge_at_immigrate" file, which is a flag file to determine whether charges should be moved to the new cgroup at task migration or not and what type of charges should be moved. This patch also adds read and write handlers of the file. This patch also adds no-op handlers for this feature. These handlers will be implemented in later patches. And you cannot write any values other than 0 to move_charge_at_immigrate yet. Signed-off-by:

Provides support for unloading modular subsystems. This patch adds a new function cgroup_unload_subsys which is to be used for removing a loaded subsystem during module deletion. Reference counting of the subsystems' modules is moved from once (at load time) to once per attached hierarchy (in parse_cgroupfs_options and rebind_subsystems) (i.e., 0 or 1). Signed-off-by:

Add interface between cgroups subsystem management and module loading This patch implements rudimentary module-loading support for cgroups - namely, a cgroup_load_subsys (similar to cgroup_init_subsys) for use as a module initcall, and a struct module pointer in struct cgroup_subsys. Several functions that might be wanted by modules have had EXPORT_SYMBOL added to them, but it's unclear exactly which functions want it and which won't. Signed-off-by:

This patch series provides the ability for cgroup subsystems to be compiled as modules both within and outside the kernel tree. This is mainly useful for classifiers and subsystems that hook into components that are already modules. cls_cgroup and blkio-cgroup serve as the example use cases for this feature. It provides an interface cgroup_load_subsys() and cgroup_unload_subsys() which modular subsystems can use to register and depart during runtime. The net_cls classifier subsystem serves as the example for a subsystem which can be converted into a module using these changes. Patch #1 sets up the subsys[] array so its contents can be dynamic as modules appear and (eventually) disappear. Iterations over the array are modified to handle when subsystems are absent, and the dynamic section of the array is protected by cgroup_mutex. Patch #2 implements an interface for modules to load subsystems, called cgroup_load_subsys, similar to cgroup_init_subsys, and adds a module pointer in struct cgroup_subsys. Patch #3 adds a mechanism for unloading modular subsystems, which includes a more advanced rework of the rudimentary reference counting introduced in patch 2. Patch #4 modifies the net_cls subsystem, which already had some module declarations, to be configurable as a module, which also serves as a simple proof-of-concept. Part of implementing patches 2 and 4 involved updating css pointers in each css_set when the module appears or leaves. In doing this, it was discovered that css_sets always remain linked to the dummy cgroup, regardless of whether or not any subsystems are actually bound to it (i.e., not mounted on an actual hierarchy). The subsystem loading and unloading code therefore should keep in mind the special cases where the added subsystem is the only one in the dummy cgroup (and therefore all css_sets need to be linked back into it) and where the removed subsys was the only one in the dummy cgroup (and therefore all css_sets should be unlinked from it) - however, as all css_sets always stay attached to the dummy cgroup anyway, these cases are ignored. Any fix that addresses this issue should also make sure these cases are addressed in the subsystem loading and unloading code. This patch: Make subsys[] able to be dynamically populated to support modular subsystems This patch reworks the way the subsys[] array is used so that subsystems can register themselves after boot time, and enables the internals of cgroups to be able to handle when subsystems are not present or may appear/disappear.

Current css_get() and css_put() increment/decrement css->refcnt one by one. This patch add a new function __css_get(), which takes "count" as a arg and increment the css->refcnt by "count". And this patch also add a new arg("count") to __css_put() and change the function to decrement the css->refcnt by "count". These coalesce version of __css_get()/__css_put() will be used to improve performance of memcg's moving charge feature later, where instead of calling css_get()/css_put() repeatedly, these new functions will be used. No change is needed for current users of css_get()/css_put(). Signed-off-by: -

scripts/kernel-doc mishandles a function that has a multi-line function short description and no function parameters. The observed problem was from drivers/scsi/scsi_netlink.c: /** * scsi_netlink_init - Called by SCSI subsystem to intialize * the SCSI transport netlink interface * **/ kernel-doc treated the " * " line as a Description: section with only a newline character in the Description contents. This caused output_highlight() to complain: "output_highlight got called with no args?", plus produce a perl call stack backtrace. The fix is just to ignore Description sections if they only contain "\n". Signed-off-by:

Recent releases of Solaris set the fs_clean state of an unmounted UFS file system as FSLOG ("logging fs"). However, the Linux kernel currently does not recognize the value which represents this state. Thus, attempting to mount such a file system rw produces the message kernel: ufs_read_super: can't grok fs_clean 0xfffffffd and the file system is mounted read-only. This patch makes the kernel recognize that value. Signed-off-by: -

This patch adds waveform storing capability to broadsheetfb. It uses the firmware class to retrieve the waveform, and the request to initiate the waveform storing is done via a driver sysfs entry, loadstore_waveform. Broadsheet is a framebuffer device. It is slightly different from a typical framebuffer controller that drives a normal TFT-LCD display. Most E-Ink display panels require a waveform in order to function. That is, in order to drive the state of a pixel to black, gray, or white, a specific waveform is utilized. Basically, that waveform represents the specific E-field wiggling needed to get the pixel to its optimal state given current temperature, and its previous state. TN/IPS-LCDs use a similar concept but the driving waveform is sufficiently simple that it is internalized in the TFT source/gate driver. These E-Ink waveforms are specific to a production batch. That is, a batch of display films are produced, then they get characterized and a waveform is generated for that batch. Broadsheet, typically, is attached to its private SPI flash which is then flashed with this waveform. Users won't be able to see the waveform and typically won't ever need to know about it. If however, the display panel attached to broadsheet is changed out, then they will need to update their waveform. That would typically be done at a factory or repair facility rather than by a user.
