[PATCH v14 17/18] memcg: reap dead memcgs upon global memory pressure

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

 



From: Glauber Costa <glommer@xxxxxxxxxx>

When we delete kmem-enabled memcgs, they can still be zombieing around
for a while. The reason is that the objects may still be alive, and we
won't be able to delete them at destruction time.

The only entry point for that, though, are the shrinkers. The shrinker
interface, however, is not exactly tailored to our needs. It could be a
little bit better by using the API Dave Chinner proposed, but it is
still not ideal since we aren't really a count-and-scan event, but more
a one-off flush-all-you-can event that would have to abuse that somehow.
