Remove the mem_cgroup member from mm_struct and instead adds an owner.
This approach was suggested by Paul Menage. The advantage of this approach
is that, once the mm->owner is known, using the subsystem id, the cgroup
can be determined. It also allows several control groups that are
virtually grouped by mm_struct, to exist independent of the memory
controller i.e., without adding mem_cgroup's for each controller, to
mm_struct.
A new config option CONFIG_MM_OWNER is added and the memory resource
controller selects this config option.
This patch also adds cgroup callbacks to notify subsystems when mm->owner
changes. The mm_cgroup_changed callback is called with the task_lock() of
the new task held and is called just prior to changing the mm->owner.
I am indebted to Paul Menage for the several reviews of this patchset and
helping me make it lighter and simpler.
This patch was tested on a powerpc box, it was compiled with both the
MM_OWNER config turned on and off.
After the thread group leader exits, it's moved to init_css_state by
cgroup_exit(), thus all future charges from runnings threads would be
redirected to the init_css_set's subsystem.

Nothing uses mem_cgroup_uncharge apart from mem_cgroup_uncharge_page, (a
trivial wrapper around it) and mem_cgroup_end_migration (which does the same
as mem_cgroup_uncharge_page). And it often ends up having to lock just to let
its caller unlock. Remove it (but leave the silly locking until a later
patch).
Moved mem_cgroup_cache_charge next to mem_cgroup_charge in memcontrol.h.

Replace free_hot_cold_page's VM_BUG_ON(page_get_page_cgroup(page)) by a "Bad
page state" and clear: most users don't have CONFIG_DEBUG_VM on, and if it
were set here, it'd likely cause corruption when the page is reused.
Don't use page_assign_page_cgroup to clear it: that should be private to
memcontrol.c, and always called with the lock taken; and memmap_init_zone
doesn't need it either - like page->mapping and other pointers throughout the
kernel, Linux assumes pointers in zeroed structures are NULL pointers.
Instead use page_reset_bad_cgroup, added to memcontrol.h for this only.

I've run allmodconfig builds on a bunch of target, FWIW (essentially the
same patch). Note that these includes are recent addition caused by added
inline function that had since then become a define. So while I agree with
your comments in general, in _this_ case it's pretty safe.
The commit that had done it is 3062fc67da
("memcontrol: move mm_cgroup to header file") and the switch to #define
is in commit 60c12b1202 ("memcontrol: add
vm_match_cgroup()") (BTW, that probably warranted mentioning in the

mm_cgroup() is exclusively used to test whether an mm's mem_cgroup pointer
is pointing to a specific cgroup. Instead of returning the pointer, we can
just do the test itself in a new macro:
vm_match_cgroup(mm, cgroup)
returns non-zero if the mm's mem_cgroup points to cgroup. Otherwise it
returns zero.

While using memory control cgroup, page-migration under it works as following.
==
1. uncharge all refs at try to unmap.
2. charge regs again remove_migration_ptes()
==
This is simple but has following problems.
==
The page is uncharged and charged back again if *mapped*.
- This means that cgroup before migration can be different from one after
migration
- If page is not mapped but charged as page cache, charge is just ignored
(because not mapped, it will not be uncharged before migration)
This is memory leak.
==
This patch tries to keep memory cgroup at page migration by increasing
one refcnt during it. 3 functions are added.
mem_cgroup_prepare_migration() --- increase refcnt of page->page_cgroup
mem_cgroup_end_migration() --- decrease refcnt of page->page_cgroup
mem_cgroup_page_migration() --- copy page->page_cgroup from old page to
new page.
During migration
- old page is under PG_locked.
- new page is under PG_locked, too.
- both old page and new page is not on LRU.
These 3 facts guarantee that page_cgroup() migration has no race.
Tested and worked well in x86_64/fake-NUMA box.

When the OOM killer is constrained by the memory controller, the exclusion
of tasks that are not a member of that controller was previously misplaced
and appeared in the badness scoring function. It should be excluded
during the tasklist scan in select_bad_process() instead.

could be called from non GFP_KERNEL contexts. This patch makes the

This patch was tested on a Powerpc box. I am still looking at being able
to test the path, through which allocations happen in non GFP_KERNEL
contexts.

Add the accounting hooks. The accounting is carried out for RSS and Page
Cache (unmapped) pages. There is now a common limit and accounting for both.
The RSS accounting is accounted at page_add_*_rmap() and page_remove_rmap()
time. Page cache is accounted at add_to_page_cache(),
__delete_from_page_cache(). Swap cache is also accounted for.
Each page's page_cgroup is protected with the last bit of the
page_cgroup pointer, this makes handling of race conditions involving
simultaneous mappings of a page easier. A reference count is kept in the
page_cgroup to deal with cases where a page might be unmapped from the RSS
of all tasks, but still lives in the page cache.
Credits go to Vaidyanathan Srinivasan for helping with reference counting work
of the page cgroup. Almost all of the page cache accounting code has help
from Vaidyanathan Srinivasan.
