As expected, no obvious performance gain or loss observed. As for the
issue we encountered, this patchset provides better worst-case behavior
that such OOM cases are reduced at some extent. While further fine-

I agree with the motivation but I don't agree with the solution (patch 2
and 3). This is adding one more heuristic in the code which you yourself
described as helped to some extent. In addition adding more dependency
on vmpressure subsystem which is in weird state. Vmpressure is a cgroup
v1 feature which somehow networking subsystem is relying on for cgroup
v2 deployments. In addition vmpressure acts differently for workloads
with different memory types (mapped, mlocked, kernel memory).

Indeed.


Anyways, have you explored the BPF based approach. You can induce socket
pressure at the points you care about and define memory pressure however
your use-case cares for. You can define memory pressure using PSI or
vmpressure or maybe with MEMCG_HIGH events. What do you think?

Yeah, this sounds much better. I will re-implement this patchset based
on your suggestion. Thank you for helpful comments!

Best,
