[PATCH v2 2/3] mm, memcg: propagate memory effective protection on setting memory.min/low

From: Roman Gushchin
Date: Mon Jun 11 2018 - 13:55:24 EST


Explicitly propagate effective memory min/low values down by the tree.

If there is the global memory pressure, it's not really necessary.
Effective memory guarantees will be propagated automatically as we
traverse memory cgroup tree in the reclaim path.

But if there is no global memory pressure, effective memory protection
still matters for local (memcg-scoped) memory pressure. So, we have to
update effective limits in the subtree, if a user changes memory.min and
memory.low values.
