Cover letter [-mm][PATCH 0/4] Add memrlimit controller (v4)
This is the fourth version of the address space control patches. These patches are against 2.6.26-rc2-mm1 and have been tested using KVM in SMP mode, both with and without the config enabled, on a powerpc box and using UML. The patches have also been compile tested with the config disabled on a powerpc box.
The goal of this patch is to implement a virtual address space controller using cgroups. The documentation describes the controller, it's goal and usage in further details.
The first patch adds the user interface. The second patch fixes the cgroup mm_owner_changed callback to pass the task struct, so that accounting can be adjusted on owner changes. The thrid patch adds accounting and control. The fourth patch updates documentation.

This patch is built on top of the mm owner patches and utilizes that feature to virtually group tasks by mm_struct.
