[PATCH] memcg: Default value setting in memcg-v1

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



From: Shaun Tancheff <shaun.tancheff@xxxxxxx>

Setting min, low and high values with memcg-v1
provides bennefits for  users that are unable to update
to memcg-v2.

Setting min, low and high can be set in memcg-v1
to apply enough memory pressure to effective throttle
filesystem I/O without hitting memcg oom.

This can be enabled by setting the sysctl values:
  vm.memcg_v1_min_default
  vm.memcg_v1_low_default
  vm.memcg_v1_high_default

When a memory control group is newly crated the
min, low and high values are set to percent of the
maximum based on the min, low and high default
values respectively.

This resolves an issue with memory pressure when users
initiate unbounded I/O on various file systems such as
ext4, XFS and NFS.

v0: Initial hard coded limits by percent.
v1: Added sysfs access and module parameters for percent values to enable
v2: Fix 32-bit, remove need for missing __udivdi3
v3: Added sysctl parameters and documentation
