Subject: [RFC][PATCH 1/2]  memcg: oom notifier

From: KAMEZAWA Hiroyuki <kamezawa.hiroyu@...fujitsu.com>

Considering containers or other resource management softwares in userland,
event notification of OOM in memcg should be implemented.
Now, memcg has "threshold" notifier which uses eventfd, we can make
use of it for oom notification.

This patch adds oom notification eventfd callback for memcg. The usage
is very similar to threshold notifier, but control file is
memory.oom_control and no arguments other than eventfd is required.

	% cgroup_event_notifier /cgroup/A/memory.oom_control dummy
	(About cgroup_event_notifier, see Documentation/cgroup/)

TODO:
 - add a knob to disable oom-kill under a memcg.
 - add read/write function to oom_control

Changelog: 20100304
 - renewed implemnation.

+10. OOM Control
+
+Memory controler implements oom notifier using cgroup notification
+API (See cgroups.txt). It allows to register multiple oom notification
+delivery and gets notification when oom happens.
+
+To register a notifier, application need:
+ - create an eventfd using eventfd(2)
+ - open memory.oom_control file
+ - write string like "<event_fd> <memory.oom_control>" to cgroup.event_control
+
+Application will be notifier through eventfd when oom happens.

 1. Add support for accounting huge pages (as a separate controller)
 2. Make per-cgroup scanner reclaim not-shared pages first
