Shared pages are accounted to the class that a task in it allocate the pages. This behavior is different from the memory resource controller in CKRM. > - what is the plan to support "limit" ? To be honest, I don't have any specific idea to support "limit" currently. Probably the userspace daemon that enlarge "guarantee" to the specified "limit" might support the "limit", because "guarantee" in the pzone based memory resource controller also works as "limit". > - can you provide more information in stats ?

That's right. But I guess that several static functions in mm/page_alloc.c would need to be exported. > - Documentation on how to configure and use it would be good. I think so too. I'll write some documents. Thanks, -- KUROSAWA, Takahiro -- To unsubscribe, send a message with 'unsubscribe linux-mm' in the body to majordomo@kvack.org.
