What I argued here is nothing new, I said the same thing back on April 27
and I was expecting it to be reproposed as a seperate controller. The
counter argument that memcg shouldn't cause a performance degradation
doesn't hold water: you can't expect every page to be tracked without
incurring some penalty somewhere. And it certainly causes ~1% of memory
to be used up at boot with all the struct page_cgroups.
The counter argument that we'd have to duplicate cgroup setup and
initialization code from memcg also is irrelevant: all generic cgroup
mounting, creation, and initialization code should be in kernel/cgroup.c.
Obviously there will be added code because we're introducing a new cgroup,
but that's not a reason to force everybody who wants to control hugetlb
pages to be forced to enable memcg.
