linux memory cgroup的memory.move_charge_at_immigrate含义

1.内核文档

上面的例子说明：

最开始某个进程是在cgroup A中，后面要迁移到cgroup B中，那么进程的内存计数是否要完全迁入B中，就是通过memory.move_charge_at_immigrate控制，如果目标cgroup也就是B设置了1到该字段中，那么进程的内存记账也要从cgroup A中去掉(uncharge from A)，同时计算到B中(charge to B)。

2. 源码流程 

2.1 uncharge A和charge B调用栈

上面提到进程进行cgroup迁移的过程中：如果目标cgroup配置了move_charge_at_immigrate，那么就要将进程的内存占用从源cgroup减掉，同时加到目标cgroup中，这个过程实在mem_cgroup_move_account函数实现的，具体调用站如下：

2.2 进程task_struct数据结构的cgroups字段是哪里更新到B cgroup 

进程搬迁cgroup的过程中，我们尤其比较关心一个字段：page->mem_cgroup，按道理来讲，如果设置了move_charge_at_immigrate，既然进程迁入新的cgroup，内存技术已经同样加到了目标的cgroup，那么page->mem_cgroup理论上也应该修改指向目标的cgroup，确实如此，具体实现在

cgroup_move_task 函数中，调用栈：
