Subject: [PATCH 0/5] memcg: more updates (still under test) v7

This is just-for-test sets.

ready-to-go set (v7 http://marc.info/?l=linux-mm&m=122353662107309&w=2)
can be applied to the latest mmotm(stamp-2008-10-09-21-35) with small easy
Hunk. (change in mm_types.h show HUNK) So I don't send it again now.

While it seems I have to maintain ready-to-go set by myself until the end of
merge window, I'd like to share patches on my stack and restart Mem+Swap
controller at el.

This set includes following patches

[1/5] ....charge/commit/cancel protcol
[2/5] ....fix for page migration handling (I hope this will be silver bullet.)
[3/5] ....new force_empty() and move_account()
[4/5] ....lazy lru free
[5/5] ....lazy lru add.

I'm still testing this but dump it now before weekend. (works well as far as my
test.) I'll restart Mem+Swap controller from scratch in the next week.

If you want me to do other work rather than Mem+Swap controller, don't hesitate
to request me. I may not notice that any important work should be done before
complicated tasks.
tasks on my queue is..
  - Mem+Swap controller.
  - an interface to shrink memory usage of a group.
  - move account at task move (maybe complicated.)
  - swappiness support (after split-lru setteld.)
  - dirty_ratio (Andrea Righi's work will go.)
  - priority to memory reclaim. (can we ?)
  - hierarchy support. (needs discusstion for trade-off among performance/function.)
  - NUMA statistics (this needs cgroup interface enhancements.)

And maybe we need more performance check.

Bye,
-Kame
