Hello, cgroup1 (by function memcg1_stat_format) already contains two lines hierarchical_memory_limit %llu hierarchical_memsw_limit %llu which are useful for userland to easily and performance-wise find out the effective cgroup limits being applied. Otherwise userland has to open+read+close the file "memory.max" and/or "memory.swap.max" in multiple parent directories of a nested cgroup. For cgroup1 it was implemented by: memcg: show real limit under hierarchy mode https://github.com/torvalds/linux/commit/fee7b548e6f2bd4bfd03a1a45d3afd593de7d5e9 Date: Wed Jan 7 18:08:26 2009 -0800 But for cgroup2 it has been missing so far, this is just a copy-paste of the cgroup1 code while changing s/memsw/swap/ as that is what cgroup1 vs. cgroup2 tracks. I have added it to the end of "memory.stat" to prevent possible compatibility problems with existing code parsing that file.
