Updated against mmotm-Mar9.

This patch set's feature is
- add filter to memcg's oom waitq.
- oom kill notifier for memcg.
- oom kill disable for memcg.

Major changes since previous one are
- add filter to wakeup queue.
- use its own function and logic rather than reusing thresholds.
- some minor fixes.

If oom-killer disabled, all tasks under memcg will sleep in memcg_oom_waitq.
What users can do when memcg-oom-killer is disabled is:
- enlarge limit.
- kill some task. ---(*)
- move some task to other cgroup. (with account migration)
(This patchset doesn't handle a case when account migraion isn't set.)

The benefit of (*) is that the user can save information of all tasks before
killing and he can take coredump (by gcore.) of troublesome process.

I'm now wondering when I remove RFC...but I think this will not have
much HUNK with dirty_ratio sets.

If some codes are unclear, feel free to request me.

Thanks,
-Kame

From: KAMEZAWA Hiroyuki <kamezaw...@jp.fujitsu.com>

This adds a feature to disable oom-killer for memcg, if disabled,
of course, tasks under memcg will stop.

But now, we have oom-notifier for memcg. And the world around
memcg is not under out-of-memory. memcg's out-of-memory just
shows memcg hits limit. Then, administrator or
management daemon can recover the situation by
- kill some process
- enlarge limit, add more swap.
- migrate some tasks
- remove file cache on tmps (difficult ?)

TODO:
more brush up and find races.

From: KAMEZAWA Hiroyuki <kamezaw...@jp.fujitsu.com>

Considering containers or other resource management softwares in userland,
event notification of OOM in memcg should be implemented.
Now, memcg has "threshold" notifier which uses eventfd, we can make
use of it for oom notification.

This patch adds oom notification eventfd callback for memcg. The usage
is very similar to threshold notifier, but control file is
memory.oom_control and no arguments other than eventfd is required.

% cgroup_event_notifier /cgroup/A/memory.oom_control dummy
(About cgroup_event_notifier, see Documentation/cgroup/)

TODO:
- add a knob to disable oom-kill under a memcg.
- add read/write function to oom_control

Changelog: 20100309
- splitted from threshold functions. use list rather than array.
- moved all to inside of mutex.
Changelog: 20100304
- renewed implemenation.
