Subject: [PATCH] cgroup: Implement default propagation of MemoryLow with
4cad4c
 DefaultMemoryLow
4cad4c
4cad4c
In cgroup v2 we have protection tunables -- currently MemoryLow and
4cad4c
MemoryMin (there will be more in future for other resources, too). The
4cad4c
design of these protection tunables requires not only intermediate
4cad4c
cgroups to propagate protections, but also the units at the leaf of that
4cad4c
resource's operation to accept it (by setting MemoryLow or MemoryMin).
4cad4c
4cad4c
This makes sense from an low-level API design perspective, but it's a
4cad4c
good idea to also have a higher-level abstraction that can, by default,
4cad4c
propagate these resources to children recursively. In this patch, this
4cad4c
happens by having descendants set memory.low to N if their ancestor has
4cad4c
DefaultMemoryLow=N -- assuming they don't set a separate MemoryLow
4cad4c
value.
4cad4c
4cad4c
Any affected unit can opt out of this propagation by manually setting
4cad4c
`MemoryLow` to some value in its unit configuration. A unit can also
4cad4c
stop further propagation by setting `DefaultMemoryLow=` with no
4cad4c
argument. This removes further propagation in the subtree, but has no
4cad4c
effect on the unit itself (for that, use `MemoryLow=0`).
4cad4c
4cad4c
Our use case in production is simplifying the configuration of machines
4cad4c
which heavily rely on memory protection tunables, but currently require
4cad4c
tweaking a huge number of unit files to make that a reality. This
4cad4c
directive makes that significantly less fragile, and decreases the risk
4cad4c
of misconfiguration.
4cad4c
4cad4c
After this patch is merged, I will implement DefaultMemoryMin= using the
4cad4c
same principles.
