From bed7161a519a2faef53e1bce1b47595e297c1d14 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Balbir Singh Date: Thu, 7 Feb 2008 00:14:01 -0800 Subject: Memory controller: make page_referenced() cgroup aware Make page_referenced() cgroup aware. Without this patch, page_referenced() can cause a page to be skipped while reclaiming pages. This patch ensures that other cgroups do not hold pages in a particular cgroup hostage. It is required to ensure that shared pages are freed from a cgroup when they are not actively referenced from the cgroup that brought them in Signed-off-by: Balbir Singh Cc: Pavel Emelianov Cc: Paul Menage Cc: Peter Zijlstra Cc: "Eric W.
