[PATCH v2] kvm, mm: account shadow page tables to kmemcg

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

 



The size of kvm's shadow page tables corresponds to the size of the
guest virtual machines on the system. Large VMs can spend a significant
amount of memory as shadow page tables which can not be left as system
memory overhead. So, account shadow page tables to the kmemcg.
