Subject[RFC PATCH 6/8] memcg: Introduce additional memory control slowdown if needed
Date
For fast cpus on slow disks, yielding the cpus repeatedly with
PR_MEMACT_SLOWDOWN may not be able to slow down memory allocation enough
for memory reclaim to catch up. In case a large memory block is mmap'ed
and the pages are faulted in one-by-one, the syscall delays won't be
activated during this process.

To be safe, an additional variable delay of 20-5000 us will be added
to __mem_cgroup_over_high_action() if the excess memory used is more
than 1/256 of the memory limit.
