Subject: [PATCH] cgroup: Implement default propagation of MemoryLow with
52b84b
 DefaultMemoryLow
52b84b
52b84b
In cgroup v2 we have protection tunables -- currently MemoryLow and
52b84b
MemoryMin (there will be more in future for other resources, too). The
52b84b
design of these protection tunables requires not only intermediate
52b84b
cgroups to propagate protections, but also the units at the leaf of that
52b84b
resource's operation to accept it (by setting MemoryLow or MemoryMin).
52b84b
52b84b
This makes sense from an low-level API design perspective, but it's a
52b84b
good idea to also have a higher-level abstraction that can, by default,
52b84b
propagate these resources to children recursively. In this patch, this
52b84b
happens by having descendants set memory.low to N if their ancestor has
52b84b
DefaultMemoryLow=N -- assuming they don't set a separate MemoryLow
52b84b
value.
52b84b
52b84b
Any affected unit can opt out of this propagation by manually setting
52b84b
`MemoryLow` to some value in its unit configuration. A unit can also
52b84b
stop further propagation by setting `DefaultMemoryLow=` with no
52b84b
argument. This removes further propagation in the subtree, but has no
52b84b
effect on the unit itself (for that, use `MemoryLow=0`).
52b84b
52b84b
Our use case in production is simplifying the configuration of machines
52b84b
which heavily rely on memory protection tunables, but currently require
52b84b
tweaking a huge number of unit files to make that a reality. This
52b84b
directive makes that significantly less fragile, and decreases the risk
52b84b
of misconfiguration.
52b84b
52b84b
After this patch is merged, I will implement DefaultMemoryMin= using the
52b84b
same principles.
