Subject: [PATCH 0/3 v2] per-task-delay-accounting: add memory reclaim delay

Hi.

This is v2 of accounting memory reclaim patch series.
Thanks to Kosaki-san, Kamezawa-san, Andrew for comments and advice!
These patches were fixed about the following.

Against: next-20080605

1) Change Log

 o Add accounting memory reclaim delay from memcgroup.
   For accounting both global and cgroup memory reclaim,
   accounting point was moved from try_to_free_pages() to do_try_to_free_pages.

 o Drop the patch regarding /proc export for memory reclaim delay.
   Because it seems that two separate ways to report are not necessary,
   this patch series supports only NETLINK and doesn't add a field to /proc/<pid>/stat.


2) Confirm the fix regarding memcgroup.

  o Previous patch can't catch memory reclaim delay from memcgroup.

    $ echo 10M > /cgroups/0/memory.limit_in_bytes

    $ ls -s test.dat
    500496 test.dat

    $ time tar cvf test.tar test.dat
    real    0m21.957s
    user    0m0.032s
    sys     0m2.348s

    $ ./delayget -d -p <pid>

                     2444    18745251314
    SWAP            count    delay total
                        0              0
    RECLAIM         count    delay total
                        0              0

  o Current patch can catch memory reclaim delay from memcgroup.

    $ echo 10M > /cgroups/0/memory.limit_in_bytes

    $ ls -s test.dat
