bugfix for memory cgroup controller: migration under memory controller fix
While using memory control cgroup, page-migration under it works as following.
==
1. uncharge all refs at try to unmap.
2. charge regs again remove_migration_ptes()
==
This is simple but has following problems.
==
The page is uncharged and charged back again if *mapped*.
- This means that cgroup before migration can be different from one after
migration
- If page is not mapped but charged as page cache, charge is just ignored
(because not mapped, it will not be uncharged before migration)
This is memory leak.
==
This patch tries to keep memory cgroup at page migration by increasing
one refcnt during it. 3 functions are added.
mem_cgroup_prepare_migration() --- increase refcnt of page->page_cgroup
mem_cgroup_end_migration() --- decrease refcnt of page->page_cgroup
mem_cgroup_page_migration() --- copy page->page_cgroup from old page to
new page.
During migration
- old page is under PG_locked.
- new page is under PG_locked, too.
- both old page and new page is not on LRU.
These 3 facts guarantee that page_cgroup() migration has no race.
Tested and worked well in x86_64/fake-NUMA box.
