Best-effort memory protection. If the memory usage of a
cgroup is within its effective low boundary, the cgroup's
- memory won't be reclaimed unless memory can be reclaimed
- from unprotected cgroups. Above the effective low boundary (or
+ memory won't be reclaimed unless there is no reclaimable
+ memory available in unprotected cgroups.
++ Above the effective low boundary (or
+ effective min boundary if it is higher), pages are reclaimed
+ proportionally to the overage, reducing reclaim pressure for
+ smaller overages.
Effective low boundary is limited by memory.low values of
all ancestor cgroups. If there is memory.low overcommitment
