[PATCH] mm, memcg: cg2 memory{.swap,}.peak write handlers

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

 



Other mechanisms for querying the peak memory usage of either a process
or v1 memory cgroup allow for resetting the high watermark. Restore
parity with those mechanisms.

For example:
 - Any write to memory.max_usage_in_bytes in a cgroup v1 mount resets
   the high watermark.
 - writing "5" to the clear_refs pseudo-file in a processes's proc
   directory resets the peak RSS.

This change copies the cgroup v1 behavior so any write to the
memory.peak and memory.swap.peak pseudo-files reset the high watermark
to the current usage.

This behavior is particularly useful for work scheduling systems that
need to track memory usage of worker processes/cgroups per-work-item.
Since memory can't be squeezed like CPU can (the OOM-killer has
opinions), these systems need to track the peak memory usage to compute
system/container fullness when binpacking workitems.
