>>After unpredictable time passed (1-5 day ?), cgroups inside LXC >>magicaly removed. I use next workaround for such containers: 1) restore subgroup in cgroup hierarchy : [root@]# mkdir /sys/fs/cgroup/memory/machine.slice/machine-lxc\\x2dpuppet.scope 2) put value in limits: [root@]# echo 8589934592 > /sys/fs/cgroup/memory/machine.slice/machine-lxc\\x2dpuppet.scope/memory.limit_in_bytes [root@]# echo 9663676416 > /sys/fs/cgroup/memory/machine.slice/machine-lxc\\x2dphosgene7.infra.scope/memory.memsw.limit_in_bytes [root@]# echo 8589934592 > /sys/fs/cgroup/memory/machine.slice/machine-lxc\\x2dpuppet.scope/memory.kmem.limit_in_bytes [root@]# echo 8589934592 > /sys/fs/cgroup/memory/machine.slice/machine-lxc\\x2dpuppet.scope/memory.kmem.tcp.limit_in_bytes [root@]# echo 8589934592 > /sys/fs/cgroup/memory/machine.slice/machine-lxc\\x2dpuppet.scope/memory.soft_limit_in_bytes 3) check that inside container limits still unset: [root@puppet01 /]# free total used free shared buffers cached Mem: 9007199254740991 1591360 9007199253149631 0 0 913112 -/+ buffers/cache: 678248 9007199254062743 Swap: 0 0 0 4) get libvirtd pid of such container: [root@]# ps ax | grep puppet | grep libvirt 3142 ? Ssl 0:17 /usr/libexec/libvirt_lxc --name puppet --console 21 --security=none --handshake 27 --background --veth macvlan0 Moreover, you need get pid of all process existed in LXC. We would test in ssh sessions, because get pid of sshd run in our container. [root@]# pstree -ap 3142 | grep ssh | `-sshd,5527 5) Assign pid with cgroups: [root@]# cgclassify -g memory:machine.slice/machine-lxc\\x2dpuppet.scope 3142 3143 5527 (I put pid 3143 in list - it's init inside LXC) 6) check again in container - start new ssh session: [root@puppet01 /]# free total used free shared buffers cached Mem: 8388608 392 8388216 0 0 0 -/+ buffers/cache: 392 8388216 Swap: 1048576 0 1048576 7) compile and run loadmem: #include <stdlib.h> int main() { int *p; while(1) { int inc=1024*1024*sizeof(char); p=(int*) calloc(1,inc); if(!p) break; } } After 8G allocated process loadmem would be killed b.r.
