This patch introduces kmem.tcp_current_memory file, living in the kmem_cgroup filesystem. It is a simple read-only file that displays the amount of kernel memory currently consumed by the cgroup.

Shouldn't it be scaled to bytes and named uniform with other memcg file? memory.kmem.tcp.limit_in_bytes/usage_in_bytes.You are absolutely correct. Since the internal tcp comparison works, I just ended up never noticing this.Should we have failcnt and max_usage_in_bytes for tcp as well?
Well, we get a fail count from the tracer anyway, so I don't really see a need for that. I see value in having it for the slab allocation itself, but since this only controls the memory pressure framework, I think we can live without it. That said, this is not a strong opinion. I can add it if you'd prefer. -- To unsubscribe, send a message with 'unsubscribe linux-mm' in the body to majordomo@kvack.org. For more info on Linux MM, see: http://www.linux-mm.org/ .
