From e5671dfae59b165e2adfd4dfbdeab11ac8db5bda Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Glauber Costa Date: Sun, 11 Dec 2011 21:47:01 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] Basic kernel memory functionality for the Memory Controller This patch lays down the foundation for the kernel memory component of the Memory Controller. As of today, I am only laying down the following files: * memory.independent_kmem_limit * memory.kmem.limit_in_bytes (currently ignored) * memory.kmem.usage_in_bytes (always zero) Signed-off-by: Glauber Costa CC: Kirill A.
