memory controller: soft limit organize cgroups
Organize cgroups over soft limit in a RB-Tree
Introduce an RB-Tree for storing memory cgroups that are over their soft
limit. The overall goal is to
1. Add a memory cgroup to the RB-Tree when the soft limit is exceeded.
We are careful about updates, updates take place only after a particular
time interval has passed
2. We remove the node from the RB-Tree when the usage goes below the soft
limit
The next set of patches will exploit the RB-Tree to get the group that is
over its soft limit by the largest amount and reclaim from it, when we
face memory contention.
