[PATCH v3 0/4] cgroup notifications API and memory thresholds

["Kirill A. Shutemov" <kirill@shutemov.name>]

This patchset introduces eventfd-based API for notifications in cgroups and
implements memory notifications on top of it.

It uses statistics in memory controler to track memory usage.

Any comments?

v2 -> v3:
 - remove [RFC];
 - rebased to 2.6.33-rc2;
 - fixes based on comments;
 - fixed potential race on event removing;
 - use RCU-protected arrays to track trasholds.

v1 -> v2:
 - use statistics instead of res_counter to track resource usage;
 - fix bugs with locking.

v0 -> v1:
 - memsw support implemented.

Kirill A. Shutemov (4):
  cgroup: implement eventfd-based generic API for notifications
  memcg: extract mem_group_usage() from mem_cgroup_read()
  memcg: rework usage of stats by soft limit
  memcg: implement memory thresholds
