Specifically the case I was thinking of, other than the CGL requirement for VM Strict Overcommit, was finer grained rlimit accounting. It started out in the Collaboration Summit meeting in Austin as a discussion about the SCOPE gaps document and CGOS-4.5 (curiously called Coarse Resource Enforcement, when it's really trying to address per-thread limits). The full document is here in PDF form: http://www.scope-alliance.org/pr/SCOPE_CGOS_GAPS_PROFILE_v2.pdf I'm suspecting now, though, that after re-reading the requirement from SCOPE and the memrlimit discussion, they may in fact be disjoint sets of functionality. -J. _______________________________________________ Containers mailing list Containers@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.linux-foundation.org/mailman/listinfo/containers
