Subject: [PATCH 3/7] memcg: add memory.scan_stat

commit log of commit 0ae5e89 " memcg: count the soft_limit reclaim in..."
says it adds scanning stats to memory.stat file. But it doesn't because
we considered we needed to make a concensus for such new APIs.

This patch is a trial to add memory.scan_stat. This shows
 - the number of scanned pages
 - the number of recleimed pages
 - the number of elaplsed time (including sleep/pause time)
 for both of direct/soft reclaim and shrinking caused by changing limit
 or force_empty.

The biggest difference with oringinal Ying's one is that this file
can be reset by some write, as

 # echo 0 ...../memory.scan_stat

[kamezawa@bluextal ~]$ cat /cgroup/memory/A/memory.scan_stat
scanned_pages_by_limit 358470
freed_pages_by_limit 180795
elapsed_ns_by_limit 21629927
scanned_pages_by_system 0
freed_pages_by_system 0
elapsed_ns_by_system 0
scanned_pages_by_shrink 76646
freed_pages_by_shrink 38355
elappsed_ns_by_shrink 31990670

elapsed?
 
total_scanned_pages_by_limit 358470
total_freed_pages_by_limit 180795
total_elapsed_ns_by_hierarchical 216299275
total_scanned_pages_by_system 0
total_freed_pages_by_system 0
total_elapsed_ns_by_system 0
total_scanned_pages_by_shrink 76646
total_freed_pages_by_shrink 38355
total_elapsed_ns_by_shrink 31990670

total_xxxx is for hierarchy management.

For some reason, i feel the opposite where the local stat (like "scanned_pages_by_limit") are reclaimed under hierarchical reclaim. The total_xxx stats are only incremented for root_mem which is the cgroup triggers the hierarchical reclaim. So:

total_scanned_pages_by_limit: number of pages being scanned while the memcg hits its limit
scanned_pages_by_limit: number of pages being scanned while one of the memcg's ancestor hits its limit

am i missing something? 
   

This will be useful for further memcg developments and need to be
developped before we do some complicated rework on LRU/softlimit
management.

Now, scan/free/elapsed_by_system is incomplete but future works of
Johannes at el. will fill remaining information and then, we can
look into problems of isolation between memcgs.
