This patch applies on top of Paul Menage's container patches (V7) posted at
http://lkml.org/lkml/2007/2/12/88
It implements a controller within the containers framework for limiting
memory usage (RSS usage).
The memory controller was discussed at length in the RFC posted to lkml
Changelog
1. Change the name from memctlr to memcontrol
2. Coding style changes, call the API and then check return value (for kmalloc).
3. Change the output format, to print sizes in both pages and kB
4. Split the usage and limit files to be independent (cat memcontrol_usage

Changelog
1. Be consistent, use the C style of returning 0 on success and negative
values on failure
2. Change and document the locking used by the controller
(I hope I got it right this time :-))
3. Remove memctlr_double_(un)lock routines
4. Comment the usage of
Changelog
1. Move void *container to struct container (in scan_control and vmscan.c

sleep functions are expected to be used from user space. Since some of

Here is the naive patch I have come up with. It does the job, even

Jorg,
I am very found of all your comments and your positive attitude
on DualFS. I also understand that you have much more experience
than us in regard to GC and cleaners. DualFS implementation is
