You do a page_counter_read() directly in mem_cgroup_resize_limit() where my suggestion was to have page_counter_limit() return the difference, but there's nothing significantly different about what you proposed and what I suggested. Perhaps the patch would be better off as a compromise between what you, I, and Li RongQing have proposed/suggested: have page_counter_limit() return the difference, and clamp it to some value proportional to the new limit. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe cgroups" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
