Hi,
This patchset implements per-cgroup tcp memory pressure controls. It did not change
significantly since last submission: rather, it just merges the comments Kame had.
Most of them are style-related and/or Documentation, but there are two real bugs he
managed to spot (thanks)
Please let me know if there is anything else I should address.
After reading all codes again, I feel some strange. Could you clarify ?
Here.

+void sock_update_memcg(struct sock *sk)

+ rcu_read_unlock();

sk->sk_cgrp is set to a memcg without any reference count.
Then, no check for preventing rmdir() and freeing memcgroup.
Is there some css_get() or mem_cgroup_get() somewhere ?
There were a css_get in the first version of this patchset. It was
removed, however, because it was deemed anti-intuitive to prevent rmdir,
since we can't know which sockets are blocking it, or do anything about
it. Or did I misunderstand something ?
Maybe I misuderstood. Thank you. Ok, there is no css_get/put and
rmdir() is allowed. But, hmm....what's guarding threads from stale
pointer access ?
Does a memory cgroup which is pointed by sk->sk_cgrp always exist ?
If I am not mistaken, yes, it will. (Ok, right now it won't)
Reason is a cgroup can't be removed if it is empty.
To make it empty, you need to move the tasks away.
So the sockets will be moved away as well when you do it. So right now
they are not, so it would then probably be better to increase a
reference count with a comment saying that it is temporary.
