There is a kstat.  Look at the output of:

$ kstat -c project_caps -n 'lockedmem*'

But there is one more thing if i set max-rss i can test it and see the task 
under specified project does not exceeds the specified rss value but if i set 
max-locked-memory to 1 gig how can i test that one ?

Thank you to both of you .. so i guess its good to use max-locked-memory.

RSS means "Resident Set Size" and can be considered to be the amount
of RAM that the project's processes are using.

Locked memory is the pages of RAM that have been locked - pages that
cannot be paged out.

There is a swap-cap for zones. See resource_controls(5).

max-rss limits both pageable and locked physical memory used by projects, so
it is an overall physical memory cap.  max-locked-memory is useful in limiting
applications which specifically lock physical memory.  This is useful because
if the project locks up to it's max-rss, there will be no memory left for
it, and it will page non-stop.  max-locked-memory can be set lower than
max-rss to protect against this.

There is no mechanism.  swap limits are only on zones.

Hi Ketan,

Can anyone answer my questions

1. Whats the difference between project.max-locked-memory  and max- 
rss.


locked memory is page of memory which can't be swapped by  
kernel...like share-mem.


And out these 2 which is the preferred way of limiting the physical  
memory in a project or zone.


You can't...huh, the only way is to limit VM my use the swap max  
parameter.




2. How to restrict the swap memory in projects


:) Use zone and zone.max-swap
