When using memory controller, there are 2 levels of memory reclaim.
1. zone memory reclaim because of system/zone memory shortage.
2. memory cgroup memory reclaim because of hitting limit.
These two can be distinguished by sc->mem_cgroup parameter.
(scan_global_lru() macro)
This patch tries to make memory cgroup reclaim routine avoid affecting
system/zone memory reclaim. This patch inserts if (scan_global_lru()) and
hook to memory_cgroup reclaim support functions.
This patch can be a help for isolating system lru activity and group lru
activity and shows what additional functions are necessary.
* mem_cgroup_calc_mapped_ratio() ... calculate mapped ratio for cgroup.
* mem_cgroup_reclaim_imbalance() ... calculate active/inactive balance in
cgroup.
* mem_cgroup_calc_reclaim_active() ... calculate the number of active pages to
be scanned in this priority in mem_cgroup.
* mem_cgroup_calc_reclaim_inactive() ... calculate the number of inactive pages
to be scanned in this priority in mem_cgroup.
* mem_cgroup_all_unreclaimable() .. checks cgroup's page is all unreclaimable
or not.
* mem_cgroup_get_reclaim_priority() ...
* mem_cgroup_note_reclaim_priority() ... record reclaim priority (temporal)
* mem_cgroup_remember_reclaim_priority()
.... record reclaim priority as
zone->prev_priority.
This value is used for calc reclaim_mapped.
