Hi All,

Hi,


One of the major work items that came out of the Plumbers conference
containers and Cgroups meeting was the need to work on memcg:

http://www.linuxplumbersconf.org/2011/ocw/events/LPC2011MC/tracks/105

(see etherpad and presentations)

Since almost everyone will be either at KS or LinuxCon, I thought doing
a small meeting on the Wednesday of Linux Con (so those at KS who might
not be staying for the whole of LinuxCon could attend) might be a good
idea.  The object would be to get all the major players to agree on
who's doing what.  You can see Parallels' direction from the patches
Glauber has been posting.  Google should shortly be starting work on
other aspects of the memgc as well.

As a precursor to the meeting (and actually a requirement to make it
effective) we need to start posting our preliminary patches and design
ideas to the mm list (hint, Google people, this means you).

I think I've got all of the interested parties in the To: field, but I'm
sending this to the mm list just in case I missed anyone.  If everyone's
OK with the idea (and enough people are going to be there) I'll get the
Linux Foundation to find us a room.

I am not going to be at KS but I am in Prague. I would be happy to meet
as well if it is possible.

Certainly.

OK, then add me as well.

Please include Ying Han and Hugh Dickins; but regrettably, scheduling
issues will prevent Greg Thelen from attending.

Thank you Hugh. I will be in KS as well as the memcg meeting. Sorry
for the late reply due to OOO in the past few weeks.

James,

Thank you so much for organizing this and please keep us informed when
the detailed schedule is out :)

We're a bit blocked on this.  We have some proposals, particularly in
the area of shrinkers, but we know you have patches in this area which
we haven't seen ... can you post the google memgc patches just for
reference (they don't have to be final, or even highly polished) just so
we have a common base to work from?

sorry for getting back late.

We are preparing the patches and should be able to send out before the
summit. The patchset itself does the kernel slab accounting in memcg,
and something we would like to discuss in the memcg meeting in
Wednesday as well.

Perfect, thanks.  This meshes well because we're trying to recast the
Dentry cache patch in terms of slab accounting and we need to make sure
our two patches are consistent.

I assume the dentry cache patch is the "[PATCH v3 0/4] Per-container
dcache limitation "?

Also, I am not sure where to get more information of the proposals
being sent so far for the meeting, and it would be helpful for us to
look through them before the day. Sorry if i missed it somewhere in
linux-mm :)
There were many discussions with no conclusions so far.

My current approach was briefly explained in:

(What does glommer think about kmem cgroup ?)
In this particular context, glommer being me.
