9.10 Memory thresholds
Memory controler implements memory thresholds using cgroups notification
API. You can use Documentation/cgroups/cgroup_event_listener.c to test
it.
(Shell-A) Create cgroup and run event listener
# mkdir /cgroup/A
# ./cgroup_event_listener /cgroup/A/memory.usage_in_bytes 5M
(Shell-B) Add task to cgroup and try to allocate and free memory
# echo $$ >/cgroup/A/tasks
# a="$(dd if=/dev/zero bs=1M count=10)"
# a=
You will see message from cgroup_event_listener every time you cross
the thresholds.
Use /cgroup/A/memory.memsw.usage_in_bytes to test memsw thresholds.
It's good idea to test root cgroup as well.
