Did you actually test with a memory hog program? I just noticed there appears to be a bug in that if I d=/sys/fs/cgroup/memory/a mkdir $d echo 1 > $d/memory.use_hierarchy echo 5000 > $d/memory.limit_in_bytes mkdir $d/b then $d/b/memory.limit_in_bytes does not report the reduced limit. However whenI run a program which does char *c = malloc(10000) after doing echo $$ > $d/b/tasks then I get killed by OOM. -serge ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Everyone hates slow websites.
