SubjectRe: [PATCH 13/13] mm: memcontrol: hook up vmpressure to socket pressure
From

> Let the networking stack know when a memcg is under reclaim pressure
> so that it can clamp its transmit windows accordingly.
>
> Whenever the reclaim efficiency of a cgroup's LRU lists drops low
> enough for a MEDIUM or HIGH vmpressure event to occur, assert a
> pressure state in the socket and tcp memory code that tells it to curb
> consumption growth from sockets associated with said control group.
>
> Traditionally, vmpressure reports for the entire subtree of a memcg
> under pressure, which drops useful information on the individual
> groups reclaimed. However, it's too late to change the userinterface,
> so add a second reporting mode that reports on the level of reclaim
> instead of at the level of pressure, and use that report for sockets.
>
> vmpressure events are naturally edge triggered, so for hysteresis
> assert socket pressure for a second to allow for subsequent vmpressure
> events to occur before letting the socket code return to normal.
>
> This will likely need finetuning for a wider variety of workloads, but
> for now stick to the vmpressure presets and keep hysteresis simple.
