Subject: [RFI] Help Resource Counters scale better


Enhancement: For scalability move the resource counter to a percpu counter

From: Balbir Singh <balbir@...ux.vnet.ibm.com>

This patch changes the usage field of a resource counter to a percpu
counter. The counter is incremented with local irq disabled. The other
fields are still protected by the spin lock for write.

This patch adds a fuzziness factor to hard limit, since the value we read
could be off the original value (by batch value), this can be fixed
by adding a strict/non-strict functionality check. The intention is
to turn of strict checking for root (since we can't set limits on
it anyway).

I tested this patch on my x86_64 box with a regular test for hard
limits and a page fault program.

This is an early RFI on the design and changes for resource counter
functionality to help it scale better.

Direct uses of mem->res.usage in memcontrol.c have been converted
to the standard resource counters interface.
