Re: [libvirt-users] /proc/meminfo

Now reporduced with 100% 1) create contrainer with memory limit 1Gb 2) run inside simple memory test allocator: #include <malloc.h> #include <unistd.h> #include <memory.h> #define MB 1024 * 1024 int main() { int total = 0; while (1) { void *p = malloc( 100*MB ); memset(p,0, 100*MB ); total = total + 100; printf("Alloc %d Mb\n",total); sleep(1); } } [root@tst-mxs2 ~]# free total used free shared buff/cache available Mem: 1048576 7412 1028644 11112 12520 1028644 Swap: 1048576 0 1048576 [root@tst-mxs2 ~]# ./a.out Alloc 100 Mb Alloc 200 Mb Alloc 300 Mb Alloc 400 Mb Alloc 500 Mb Alloc 600 Mb Alloc 700 Mb Alloc 800 Mb Alloc 900 Mb Alloc 1000 Mb Killed As You can see, limit worked and "free" inside container show correct values 3) Check situation outside container, from top hadrware node: [root@node01]# cat /sys/fs/cgroup/memory/machine.slice/machine-lxc\\x2d7445\\x2dtst\\x2dmxs2.test.scope/memory.limit_in_bytes 1073741824 4) Check list of pid in cgroups (it's IMPOTANT moment): [root@node01]# cat /sys/fs/cgroup/memory/machine.slice/machine-lxc\\x2d7445\\x2dtst\\x2dmxs2.test.scope/tasks 7445 7446 7480 7506 7510 7511 7512 7529 7532 7533 7723 7724 8251 8253 10455 First PID 7445 - it's pid of libvirt process for container: # ps ax | grep 7445 7445 ?

It's positive news - process inside container even in case 8Ptb can't allocate more memory that set in cgroups. But negative news - that some java based sotfware (as puppetdb in our case) plan self strategy based on 8Ptb memory and collapsed after reach real limit. resume: 1) don't start disabled service by systemd 2) workaround by cglassify or by it's simple analog [root@node01]# echo 7445 > /sys/fs/cgroup/memory/machine.slice/machine-lxc\\x2d7445\\x2dtst\\x2dmxs2.test.scope/tasks p.s. I am not sure whose bug - libvirtd or systemd. b.r. Maxim Kozin On 3/23/16, Peter Steele <pwsteele(a)gmail.com&gt; wrote:
