memcg: net: track network throttling due to memcg memory pressure
The kernel can throttle network sockets if the memory cgroup associated
with the corresponding socket is under memory pressure. The throttling
actions include clamping the transmit window, failing to expand receive or
send buffers, aggressively prune out-of-order receive queue, FIN deferred
to a retransmitted packet and more. Let's add memcg metric to track such
throttling actions.
At the moment memcg memory pressure is defined through vmpressure and in
future it may be defined using PSI or we may add more flexible way for the
users to define memory pressure, maybe through ebpf. However the
potential throttling actions will remain the same, so this newly
introduced metric will continue to track throttling actions irrespective
of how memcg memory pressure is defined.
