memcg: oom: fix totalpages calculation for memory.swappiness==0

2012-11-16T22:33:04Z

oom_badness() takes a totalpages argument which says how many pages are available and it uses it as a base for the score calculation. The value is calculated by mem_cgroup_get_limit which considers both limit and total_swap_pages (resp. memsw portion of it). This is usually correct but since fe35004fbf9e ("mm: avoid swapping out with swappiness==0") we do not swap when swappiness is 0 which means that we cannot really use up all the totalpages pages. This in turn confuses oom score calculation if the memcg limit is much smaller than the available swap because the used memory (capped by the limit) is negligible comparing to totalpages so the resulting score is too small if adj!=0 (typically task with CAP_SYS_ADMIN or non zero oom_score_adj). A wrong process might be selected as result. The problem can be worked around by checking mem_cgroup_swappiness==0 and not considering swap at all in such a case.

memcg: trivial fixes for Documentation/cgroups/memory.txt

2012-10-09T07:22:54Z

While reading through Documentation/cgroups/memory.txt, I found a number of minor wordos and typos. The patch below is a conservative handling of some of these: it provides just a number of "obviously correct" fixes to the English that improve the readability of the document somewhat. Obviously some more significant fixes need to be made to the document, but some of those may not be in the "obvious correct" category.

cgroup: remove hierarchy_mutex

2012-06-07T02:12:30Z

It was introduced for memcg to iterate cgroup hierarchy without holding cgroup_mutex, but soon after that it was replaced with a lockless way in memcg. No one used hierarchy_mutex since that, so remove it. Signed-off-by: Li Zefan Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo
