Hello
I'm doing some tests with LXC and how it interacts with the memory
cgroup limits, more specifically the memory.limit_in_bytes control file.
Am I correct in my understanding of the memory cgroup documentation[1]
that the limit set in memory.limit_in_bytes is applied to the sum of the
fields 'cache', 'rss' and 'mapped_file' in the memory.stat file?
I am also trying to understand the values reported in memory.stat when
compared to the statistics in /proc/$PID/statm.
Below is the sum of each field in /proc/$PID/statm for every process
running inside a test container, converted to bytes:
size resident share text lib data dt
897208320 28741632 20500480 1171456 0 170676224 0
Compare this with the usage reports from memory.stat (fields total_*,
hierarchical_* and pg* omitted):
cache 16834560
rss 8192000
mapped_file 3743744
swap 0
inactive_anon 0
active_anon 8192000
inactive_file 13996032
active_file 2838528
unevictable 0
Is there a way to reconcile these numbers somehow? I understand that the
fields from the two files represent different things. What I'm trying to
do is to combine, for example, the fields from memory.stat to
approximately reach what is displayed by statm.
Thank you in advance,
Andre
