400 | 9.10 Memory thresholds | ||
401 | Memory controler implements memory thresholds using cgroups notification | ||
402 | API. You can use Documentation/cgroups/cgroup_event_listener.c to test | ||
403 | it. | ||
404 | |||
405 | (Shell-A) Create cgroup and run event listener | ||
406 | # mkdir /cgroup/A | ||
407 | # ./cgroup_event_listener /cgroup/A/memory.usage_in_bytes 5M | ||
408 | |||
409 | (Shell-B) Add task to cgroup and try to allocate and free memory | ||
410 | # echo $$ >/cgroup/A/tasks | ||
411 | # a="$(dd if=/dev/zero bs=1M count=10)" | ||
412 | # a= | ||
413 | |||
414 | You will see message from cgroup_event_listener every time you cross | ||
415 | the thresholds. | ||
416 | |||
417 | Use /cgroup/A/memory.memsw.usage_in_bytes to test memsw thresholds. | ||
418 | |||
419 | It's good idea to test root cgroup as well. | ||
