[PATCH v6 7/9] memcg: add dirty limiting routines
Greg Thelen

Fri Mar 11 10:43:29 PST 2011
Add new memcg routines for use by mm to balance and throttle per-memcg
dirty page usage:
- mem_cgroup_balance_dirty_pages() balances memcg dirty memory usage by
checking memcg foreground and background limits.
- mem_cgroup_hierarchical_dirty_info() searches a memcg hierarchy to
find the memcg that is closest to (or over) its foreground or
background dirty limit.
A later change adds kernel calls to these new routines.
