Subject: [PATCH 3/3] docs: cgroup-v1: note the v1 memory controller implementation boundary
Date: Wed, 16 Sep 2026 20:57:37 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260916125737.1095414-4-cui.tao@linux.dev> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260916125737.1095414-1-cui.tao@linux.dev>
From: Tao Cui <cuitao@kylinos.cn>
Document that the legacy memory controller is now isolated behind
CONFIG_MEMCG_V1, with its state in struct mem_cgroup_v1, and that new
functionality belongs to the v2 memory controller.

understanding.
+.. note::
+ The legacy (v1) memory controller implementation is isolated behind
+ ``CONFIG_MEMCG_V1``: its interface lives in ``mm/memcontrol-v1.c`` and
+ its per-cgroup state in ``struct mem_cgroup_v1`` (see
+ ``include/linux/memcontrol.h``). New functionality belongs to the
+ cgroup v2 memory controller.

.. note::
The Memory Resource Controller has generically been referred to as the
memory controller in this document. Do not confuse memory controller
