    cgroups: add an owner to the mm_struct · cf475ad2
    Balbir Singh 提交于
    Remove the mem_cgroup member from mm_struct and instead adds an owner.
    
    This approach was suggested by Paul Menage.  The advantage of this approach
    is that, once the mm->owner is known, using the subsystem id, the cgroup
    can be determined.  It also allows several control groups that are
    virtually grouped by mm_struct, to exist independent of the memory
    controller i.e., without adding mem_cgroup's for each controller, to
    mm_struct.
    
    A new config option CONFIG_MM_OWNER is added and the memory resource
    controller selects this config option.
    
    This patch also adds cgroup callbacks to notify subsystems when mm->owner
    changes.  The mm_cgroup_changed callback is called with the task_lock() of
    the new task held and is called just prior to changing the mm->owner.
    
    I am indebted to Paul Menage for the several reviews of this patchset and
    helping me make it lighter and simpler.
    
    This patch was tested on a powerpc box, it was compiled with both the
    MM_OWNER config turned on and off.
    
    After the thread group leader exits, it's moved to init_css_state by
    cgroup_exit(), thus all future charges from runnings threads would be
    redirected to the init_css_set's subsystem.
