Subject: Re: [-mm PATCH 1/9] Memory controller resource counters (v6)
Hi Balbir/Pavel,
As I mentioned to you directly at the kernel summit, I think it might
be cleaner to integrate resource counters more closely with control
groups. So rather than controllers such as the memory controller
having to create their own boilerplate cf_type structures and
read/write functions, it should be possible to just call a function
something like
control_group_add_rescounter(struct cgroup *cg, struct cgroup_subsys *ss,
struct res_counter *res,
const char *name)
and have it handle all the userspace API. This would simplify the task
of keeping a consistent userspace API between different controllers
using the resource counter abstraction.
