From: Roman Gushchin <guro@xxxxxx> Subject: mm: treat memory.low value inclusive If memcg's usage is equal to the memory.low value, avoid reclaiming from this cgroup while there is a surplus of reclaimable memory. This sounds more logical and also matches memory.high and memory.max behavior: both are inclusive. Empty cgroups are not considered protected, so MEMCG_LOW events are not emitted for empty cgroups, if there is no more reclaimable memory in the system.
