[PATCH] memcg: oom: ignore oom warnings from memory.max

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

 



Lowering memory.max can trigger an oom-kill if the reclaim does not
succeed. However if oom-killer does not find a process for killing, it
dumps a lot of warnings.

Deleting a memcg does not reclaim memory from it and the memory can
linger till there is a memory pressure. One normal way to proactively
reclaim such memory is to set memory.max to 0 just before deleting the
memcg. However if some of the memcg's memory is pinned by others, this
operation can trigger an oom-kill without any process and thus can log a
lot un-needed warnings. So, ignore all such warnings from memory.max.
