Documentation: update broken web addresses.

2010-08-04T13:21:40+00:00

Below you will find an updated version from the original series bunching all patches into one big patch
updating broken web addresses that are located in Documentation/*
Some of the addresses date as far far back as 1995 etc... so searching became a bit difficult,
the best way to deal with these is to use web.archive.org to locate these addresses that are outdated.
Now there are also some addresses pointing to .spec files some are located, but some(after searching
on the companies site)where still no where to be found. In this case I just changed the address
to the company site this way the users can contact the company and they can locate them for the users.

memcg: update documentation

2010-05-27T16:12:43+00:00

Some information are old, and I think current document doesn't work as "a
guide for users".  We need summary of all of our controls, at least.

memcg: move charge of file pages

2010-05-27T16:12:43+00:00

This patch adds support for moving charge of file pages, which include
normal file, tmpfs file and swaps of tmpfs file.  It's enabled by setting
bit 1 of /memory.move_charge_at_immigrate.

Unlike the case of anonymous pages, file pages(and swaps) in the range
mmapped by the task will be moved even if the task hasn't done page fault,
i.e.  they might not be the task's "RSS", but other task's "RSS" that maps
the same file.  And mapcount of the page is ignored(the page can be moved
even if page_mapcount(page) > 1).  So, conditions that the page/swap
should be met to be moved is that it must be in the range mmapped by the
target task and it must be charged to the old cgroup.

memcg: oom kill disable and oom status

2010-05-27T16:12:43+00:00

This adds a feature to disable oom-killer for memcg, if disabled, of
course, tasks under memcg will stop.

But now, we have oom-notifier for memcg.  And the world around memcg is
not under out-of-memory.  memcg's out-of-memory just shows memcg hits
limit.  Then, administrator or management daemon can recover the situation
by

	- kill some process
	- enlarge limit, add more swap.
	- migrate some tasks
	- remove file cache on tmps (difficult ?)

Unlike oom-killer, you can take enough information before killing tasks.
(by gcore, or, ps etc.)

memcg: oom notifier

2010-05-27T16:12:43+00:00

Considering containers or other resource management softwares in userland,
event notification of OOM in memcg should be implemented.  Now, memcg has
"threshold" notifier which uses eventfd, we can make use of it for oom
notification.

This patch adds oom notification eventfd callback for memcg.  The usage is
very similar to threshold notifier, but control file is memory.oom_control
and no arguments other than eventfd is required.
