[PATCH v9 08/13] memcg: dirty page accounting support routines

Greg Thelen gthelen at google.com
Wed Aug 17 09:15:00 PDT 2011


Added memcg dirty page accounting support routines.  These routines are
used by later changes to provide memcg aware writeback and dirty page
limiting.  A mem_cgroup_dirty_info() tracepoint is is also included to
allow for easier understanding of memcg writeback operation.

Changelog since v8:
- Use 'memcg' rather than 'mem' for local variables and parameters.
  This is consistent with other memory controller code.
