I'm not familar with reuqirements of users. So, I appreciate your choices.
What I adivse you here is taking a deep breath. Making new version every day
is not good for reviewing process ;)
(It's now -rc8 and merge will not be so quick, anyway.)
At this stage, my concern is view of interfaces and documenation, and future plans.
Let me give a try explanation by myself. (Correct me ;)
I added some questions but I'm sorry you've already answered.
New interfaces are 5 files. All files exists only for non-root memory cgroup.
1. memory.independent_kmem_limit
2. memory.kmem.usage_in_bytes
3. memory.kmem.limit_in_bytes
4. memory.kmem.tcp.limit_in_bytes
5. memory.kmem.tcp.usage_in_bytes
* memory.independent_kmem_limit
If 1, kmem_limit_in_bytes/kmem_usage_in_bytes works.
If 0, kmem_limit_in_bytes/kmem_usage_in_bytes doesn't work and all kmem
usages are controlled under memory.limit_in_bytes.
Question:
- What happens when parent/chidlren cgroup has different indepedent_kmem_limit ?
- What happens at creating a new cgroup with use_hierarchy==1.
* memory.kmem_limit_in_bytes/memory.kmem.tcp.limit_in_bytes
Both files works independently for _Now_. And memory.kmem_usage_in_bytes and
memory.kmem_tcp.usage_in_bytes has no relationships.
In future plan, kmem.usage_in_bytes should includes tcp.kmem_usage_in_bytes.
And kmem.limit_in_bytes should be the limiation of sum of all kmem.xxxx.limit_in_bytes.
Question:
- Why this integration is difficult ?
Can't tcp-limit-code borrows some amount of charges in batch from kmem_limit
and use it ?
- Don't you need a stat file to indicate "tcp memory pressure works!" ?
It can be obtained already ?
Thanks,
-Kame
