Now, we use lock_page_cgroup(). But, considering the context which page-cgroup for files are accessed, we can use alternative light-weight mutual execusion in the most case. At handling file-caches, the only race we have to take care of is "moving" account, IOW, overwriting page_cgroup->mem_cgroup. Because file status update is done while the page-cache is in stable state, we don't have to take care of race with charge/uncharge. Unlike charge/uncharge, "move" happens not so frequently. It happens only when rmdir() and task-moving (with a special settings.) This patch adds a race-checker for file-cache-status accounting v.s. account moving. The new per-cpu-per-memcg counter MEM_CGROUP_ON_MOVE is added. The routine for account move 1. Increment it before start moving 2. Call synchronize_rcu() 3. Decrement it after the end of moving. By this, file-status-counting routine can check it needs to call lock_page_cgroup(). In most case, I doesn't need to call it. Changelog: 20100804 - added a comment for possible optimization hint. (for_each_possible...) (but this is not needed to be quick..now) Changelog: 20100730 - some cleanup. Changelog: 20100729 - replaced __this_cpu_xxx() with this_cpu_xxx (because we don't call spinlock) - added VM_BUG_ON().
