Since now we're in the 0 cgroup,
We can alter the memory limit:
-# echo -n 6000 > /cgroups/0/memory.limit
+# echo -n 4M > /cgroups/0/memory.limit_in_bytes
+
+NOTE: We can use a suffix (k, K, m, M, g or G) to indicate values in kilo,
+mega or gigabytes.
+
+# cat /cgroups/0/memory.limit_in_bytes
+4194304 Bytes
+
+NOTE: The interface has now changed to display the usage in bytes
+instead of pages
We can check the usage:
-# cat /cgroups/0/memory.usage
-25
+# cat /cgroups/0/memory.usage_in_bytes
+1216512 Bytes
+
+A successful write to this file does not guarantee a successful set of
+this limit to the value written into the file. This can be due to a
+number of factors, such as rounding up to page boundaries or the total
+availability of memory on the system. The user is required to re-read
+this file after a write to guarantee the value committed by the kernel.
+
+# echo -n 1 > memory.limit_in_bytes
+# cat memory.limit_in_bytes
+4096 Bytes
The memory.failcnt field gives the number of times that the cgroup limit was
exceeded.
tasks have migrated away from it. If some pages are still left, after following
the steps listed in sections 4.1 and 4.2, check the Swap Cache usage in
/proc/meminfo to see if the Swap Cache usage is showing up in the
-cgroups memory.usage counter. A simple test of swapoff -a and swapon -a
-should free any pending Swap Cache usage.
