From 296c81d89f4f14269f7346f81442910158c0a83a Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Balbir Singh Date: Wed, 23 Sep 2009 15:56:36 -0700 Subject: memory controller: soft limit interface Add an interface to allow get/set of soft limits. Soft limits for memory plus swap controller (memsw) is currently not supported. Resource counters have been enhanced to support soft limits and new type RES_SOFT_LIMIT has been added. Unlike hard limits, soft limits can be directly set and do not need any reclaim or checks before setting them to a newer value. Kamezawa-San raised a question as to whether soft limit should belong to res_counter. Since all resources understand the basic concepts of hard and soft limits, it is justified to add soft limits here. Soft limits are a generic resource usage feature, even file system quotas support soft limits.
