It is memory for sure, but disk access, which it actually affects, belongs to the blkio subsystem. Is there a technical reason why swap I/O is not run through the blkio system ? > Memory cgroup is now developping dirty_ratio for memory cgroup. > By that, you can control the number of pages in writeback, in memory > cgroup. I think it will work for you. I'm not sure that fixes the fairness problem on swapio. Just having a larger buffer before a writeback happens will reduce seeks, but not give fair share of io in swap in. It's good to control over it on cgroup level, but i doubt it will fix the problem. kind regards Daniel -- To unsubscribe, send a message with 'unsubscribe linux-mm' in the body to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxx For more info on Linux MM, see: http://www.linux-mm.org/ .
