Subject: memcg: check under limit at shrink_usage
X-Git-Url: https://git.stricted.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=a10cebf56ca7e7c034d1b6646230c6553e478967;p=GitHub%2Fexynos8895%2Fandroid_kernel_samsung_universal8895.git

memcg: check under limit at shrink_usage

Current memory cgroup(both in mainline and -mm) doesn't account swap
caches as memory(swap cache support is dropped temporarily now).

So try_to_free_mem_cgroup_pages doesn't reflect the count of pages that
have been moved to swap cache.

But this makes mem_cgroup_shrink_usage fail easily if most of the pages
are anon/shmem, and then shmem_getpage returns -ENOMEM and the process
will be killed.

This patch adds res_counter_check_under_limit to avoid these cases.

BTW, even if swap cache support is enabled again, if a process is moved to
another cgroup, which has been just made, between precharge and
shrink_usage in shmem_getpage, shrink_usage may fail just because there is
no pages to reclaim.

So this change would make sense anyway.
