This is, however, not what we expect. > Hmm....do we need this new routines even while we have mem_cgroup_iter() ? Doesn't this work ? struct mem_cgroup { ..... bool kmem_accounted_this; atomic_t kmem_accounted; .... } at set limit ....set_limit(memcg) { if (newly accounted) { mem_cgroup_iter() { atomic_inc(&iter->kmem_accounted) } } else { mem_cgroup_iter() { atomic_dec(&iter->kmem_accounted); } } hm ? Then, you can see kmem is accounted or not by atomic_read(&memcg->kmem_accounted); Thanks, -Kame -- To unsubscribe, send a message with 'unsubscribe linux-mm' in the body to majordomo@xxxxxxxxx.
