[RFC PATCH 7/8] memcg: add sysctl and config option to control memory recharging

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

 



Add a sysctl to enable/disable memory recharging for offline memcgs. Add
a config option to control whether or not it is enabled by default.

+	  memcg. Offline memcgs potentially consume memory and limit scalability
