From 1be171d60bddcce2602c5d009029274d67736fd7 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Michal Hocko Date: Thu, 12 Sep 2013 15:13:32 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] memcg: track all children over limit in the root Children in soft limit excess are currently tracked up the hierarchy in memcg->children_in_excess. Nevertheless there still might exist tons of groups that are not in hierarchy relation to the root cgroup (e.g. all first level groups if root_mem_cgroup->use_hierarchy == false). As the whole tree walk has to be done when the iteration starts at root_mem_cgroup the iterator should be able to skip the walk if there is no child above the limit without iterating them. This can be done easily if the root tracks all children rather than only hierarchical children. This is done by this patch which updates root_mem_cgroup children_in_excess if root_mem_cgroup->use_hierarchy == false so the root knows about all children in excess. Please note that this is not an issue for inner memcgs which have use_hierarchy == false because then only the single group is visited so no special optimization is necessary.
