[PATCH v2 3/7] memcg: provide online test for memcg

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Since we are now splitting the memcg creation in two parts, following
the cgroup standard, it would be helpful to be able to determine if a
created memcg is already online.

We can do this by initially forcing the refcnt to 0, and waiting until
the last minute to flip it to 1. During memcg's lifetime, this value
will vary. But if it ever reaches 0 again, memcg will be destructed. We
can therefore be sure that any value different than 0 will mean that
our group is online.
