memcg: mem+swap controller Kconfig
Config and control variable for mem+swap controller.
This patch adds CONFIG_CGROUP_MEM_RES_CTLR_SWAP
(memory resource controller swap extension.)
For accounting swap, it's obvious that we have to use additional memory to
remember "who uses swap". This adds more overhead. So, it's better to
offer "choice" to users. This patch adds 2 choices.
This patch adds 2 parameters to enable swap extension or not.
- CONFIG
- boot option
