Provides a memory resource controller that manages both anonymous

memory and page cache. (See Documentation/cgroups/memory.txt)
|

|
Note that setting this option increases fixed memory overhead
|
|
associated with each page of memory in the system. By this,

20(40)bytes/PAGE_SIZE on 32(64)bit system will be occupied by memory
|
|
usage tracking struct at boot. Total amount of this is printed out
|
|
at boot.
|
|
|
|
Only enable when you're ok with these tradeoffs and really
|
|
sure you need the memory resource controller. Even when you enable
|
|
this, you can set "cgroup_disable=memory" at your boot option to
|
|
disable memory resource controller and you can avoid overheads
|
|
(but lose benefits of memory resource controller).

Add swap management feature to memory resource controller. When you

|
enable this, you can limit mem+swap usage per cgroup. In other words,
|
|
when you disable this, memory resource controller has no cares to
|
|
usage of swap...a process can exhaust all of the swap. This extension
|
|
is useful when you want to avoid exhaustion swap but this itself
|
|
adds more overheads and consumes memory for remembering information.
|
|
Especially if you use 32bit system or small memory system, please
|
|
be careful about enabling this. When memory resource controller
|
|
is disabled by boot option, this will be automatically disabled and
|
|
there will be no overhead from this. Even when you set this config=y,
|
|
if boot option "swapaccount=0" is set, swap will not be accounted.
|
|
Now, memory usage of swap_cgroup is 2 bytes per entry. If swap page
|
|
size is 4096bytes, 512k per 1Gbytes of swap.

Memory Resource Controller Swap Extension comes with its price in

|
|
parameter should have this option unselected.

Those who want to have the feature enabled by default should

select this option (if, for some reason, they need to disable it,

then swapaccount=0 does the trick).

The Kernel Memory extension for Memory Resource Controller can limit

fundamentally different from the entities handled by the standard

Memory Controller, which are page-based, and can be swapped. Users of
