From 4b3bde4c983de36c59e6c1a24701f6fe816f9f55 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Balbir Singh Date: Wed, 23 Sep 2009 15:56:32 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] memcg: remove the overhead associated with the root cgroup Change the memory cgroup to remove the overhead associated with accounting all pages in the root cgroup. As a side-effect, we can no longer set a memory hard limit in the root cgroup. A new flag to track whether the page has been accounted or not has been added as well. Flags are now set atomically for page_cgroup, pcg_default_flags is now obsolete and removed.
