From 3af3351676c3deecfd632f47719fb0d13a061ba8 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Sha Zhengju Date: Thu, 12 Sep 2013 15:13:48 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] memcg: avoid overflow caused by PAGE_ALIGN Since PAGE_ALIGN is aligning up(the next page boundary), so after PAGE_ALIGN, the value might be overflow, such as write the MAX value to *.limit_in_bytes. $ cat /cgroup/memory/memory.limit_in_bytes 18446744073709551615 # echo 18446744073709551615 > /cgroup/memory/memory.limit_in_bytes bash: echo: write error: Invalid argument Some user programs might depend on such behaviours(like libcg, we read the value in snapshot, then use the value to reset cgroup later), and that will cause confusion. So we need to fix it.
