[PATCH] doc,cgroup-v2: memory.max is reported in multiples of page size

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

 



Update documentation for memory.max to clarify that the reported value
is in multiples of the system page_size. The following example
demonstrates this behavior:

  # cd /sys/fs/cgroup/
  # cat cgroup.subtree_control
  cpu io memory pids
  # mkdir mem
  # cd mem
  # echo 8000000 > memory.max
  # cat memory.max
  7995392

  # getconf PAGESIZE
  65536

  # echo $((8000000/65536*65536))
  7995392
