Currently an attempt to set swap.max into a value lower
than the actual swap usage fails. And a user can't do much
with it, except turning off swap globally (using swapoff).
This is an actual problem we met in the production.
The default value for swap.max is "max", so turning swap on
globally may lead to swapping out in some cgroups.
As it's not possible to lower the allowed maximum,
it creates additional configuration issues.
For example, to disable swapping for a particular cgroup
it has to be re-created with memory.max set to 0.
This patch aims to fix this issue by allowing setting swap.max
into any value (which corresponds to cgroup v2 API design),
and schedule a background job to fit swap size into the new limit.
The following script can be used to test the memory.swap behavior:
#!/bin/bash
mkdir -p /sys/fs/cgroup/test_swap
echo 100M > /sys/fs/cgroup/test_swap/memory.max
echo max > /sys/fs/cgroup/test_swap/memory.swap.max
mkdir -p /sys/fs/cgroup/test_swap_2
echo 100M > /sys/fs/cgroup/test_swap_2/memory.max
echo max > /sys/fs/cgroup/test_swap_2/memory.swap.max
echo $$ > /sys/fs/cgroup/test_swap/cgroup.procs
allocate 200M &
echo $$ > /sys/fs/cgroup/test_swap_2/cgroup.procs
allocate 200M &
sleep 2
cat /sys/fs/cgroup/test_swap/memory.swap.current
cat /sys/fs/cgroup/test_swap_2/memory.swap.current
echo max > /sys/fs/cgroup/test_swap/memory.max
echo 50M > /sys/fs/cgroup/test_swap/memory.swap.max
sleep 10
cat /sys/fs/cgroup/test_swap/memory.swap.current
cat /sys/fs/cgroup/test_swap_2/memory.swap.current
pkill allocate
