With kernel 3.18 (since commit 3e32cb2e0a12b6915056ff04601cf1bb9b44f967) the "unlimited" value for cgroup memory limits has changed once again as its byte value is now computed from a page counter. The new "unlimited" value reported by the cgroup fs is therefore 2**51-1 pages which is (VIR_DOMAIN_MEMORY_PARAM_UNLIMITED - 3072). This results e.g. in virsh memtune displaying 9007199254740988 instead of unlimited for the limits. This patch deals with the rounding issue by scaling the byte values reported by the kernel and the PARAM_UNLIMITED value to page size and comparing those. See also libvirt commit 231656bbeb9e4d3bedc44362784c35eee21cf0f4 for the history for kernel 3.12 and before.
