From 378ce724bc2a0ef1243e11c09d58a70bb6be007a Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Kirill A. Shutemov" Date: Wed, 10 Mar 2010 15:22:23 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] memcg: rework usage of stats by soft limit Instead of incrementing counter on each page in/out and comparing it with constant, we set counter to constant, decrement counter on each page in/out and compare it with zero. We want to make comparing as fast as possible. On many RISC systems (probably not only RISC) comparing with zero is more effective than comparing with a constant, since not every constant can be immediate operand for compare instruction. Also, I've renamed MEM_CGROUP_STAT_EVENTS to MEM_CGROUP_STAT_SOFTLIMIT, since really it's not a generic counter. Signed-off-by: Kirill A.
