memory controller: soft limit reclaim on contention
Implement reclaim from groups over their soft limit Permit reclaim from memory cgroups on contention (via the direct reclaim path). memory cgroup soft limit reclaim finds the group that exceeds its soft limit by the largest number of pages and reclaims pages from it and then reinserts the cgroup into its correct place in the rbtree. Add additional checks to mem_cgroup_hierarchical_reclaim() to detect long loops in case all swap is turned off. The code has been refactored and the loop check (loop < 2) has been enhanced for soft limits. For soft limits, we try to do more targetted reclaim. Instead of bailing out after two loops, the routine now reclaims memory proportional to the size by which the soft limit is exceeded. The proportion has been empirically determined.
