Subject: [RFC 5/5] Memory controller soft limit reclaim on contention
Setup the soft limit control data structures in the memory controller. The
prio_heap data structure is used. Memory contention is detected in
__alloc_pages_internal(). Prior to calling try_to_free_pages(), the code
now tries to free memory from memory groups above their soft limit. This
happens in the mem_cgroup_reclaim_on_contention() routine. This routine
pulls out cgroups from a max heap (ordered by the size by which they exceed
their soft limit) and reclaims from them.
