When user remove cgroup directory, does it possible associated file memory to root cgroup? We used to do that in the past but removed it by b2052564e66d ("mm: memcontrol: continue cache reclaim from offlined groups"). Please read through the changelog for the reasoning behind. > 3. Can we provide an option that do not associate memory with cgroup in tmpfs? What is the reason to run under !root cgroup in those sessions if you do not care about accounting anyway? tmpfs is a persistent charge until the file is removed. So if those outlive the session then you either want them to be charged to somebody or you do not care about accounting at all, no? Or could you explain your usecase some more? -- Michal Hocko SUSE Labs
