[PATCH v13 10/16] vmscan: shrink slab on memcg pressure

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



This patch makes direct reclaim path shrink slab not only on global
memory pressure, but also when we reach the user memory limit of a
memcg. To achieve that, it makes shrink_slab() walk over the memcg
hierarchy and run shrinkers marked as memcg-aware on the target memcg
and all its descendants. The memcg to scan is passed in a shrink_control
structure; memcg-unaware shrinkers are still called only on global
memory pressure with memcg=NULL. It is up to the shrinker how to
organize the objects it is responsible for to achieve per-memcg reclaim.

The idea lying behind the patch as well as the initial implementation
belong to Glauber Costa.
