The current memcg slab cache management fails to present satisfatory
hierarchical behavior in the following scenario:
-> /cgroups/memory/A/B/C
* kmem limit set at A,
* A and B have no tasks,
* span a new task in in C.
Because kmem_accounted is a boolean that was not set for C, no
accounting would be done. This is, however, not what we expect.
The basic idea, is that when a cgroup is limited, we walk the tree
upwards (something Kame and I already thought about doing for other
purposes), and make sure that we store the information about the parent
being limited in kmem_accounted (that is turned into a bitmap: two
booleans would not be space efficient). The code for that is taken from
sched/core.c. My reasons for not putting it into a common place is to
dodge the type issues that would arise from a common implementation
between memcg and the scheduler - but I think that it should ultimately
happen, so if you want me to do it now, let me know.
We do the reverse operation when a formerly limited cgroup becomes
unlimited.
