[PATCH v15 3/7] page_cgroup: provide a generic page tracking infrastructure

Andrea Righi righi.andrea at gmail.com
Tue Apr 28 01:43:50 PDT 2009


Dirty pages in the page cache can be processed asynchronously by kernel
threads (pdflush) using a writeback policy. For this reason the real
writes to the underlying block devices occur in a different IO context
respect to the task that originally generated the dirty pages involved
in the IO operation. This makes the tracking and throttling of writeback
IO more complicate respect to the synchronous IO.

The page_cgroup infrastructure, currently available only for the memory
cgroup controller, can be used to store the owner of each page and
opportunely track the writeback IO. This information is encoded in
page_cgroup->flags.

A owner can be identified using a generic ID number and the following
interfaces are provided to store a retrieve this information:

  unsigned long page_cgroup_get_owner(struct page *page);
  int page_cgroup_set_owner(struct page *page, unsigned long id);
  int page_cgroup_copy_owner(struct page *npage, struct page *opage);

The io-throttle controller uses the cgroup css_id() as the owner's ID
number.

A big part of this code is taken from the Ryo and Hirokazu's
bio-cgroup controller (http://people.valinux.co.jp/~ryov/bio-cgroup/).

TODO: try to remove the lock/unlock_page_cgroup() in
page_cgroup_*_owner().
