Subject: [RFC PATCH 1/9 v2] cgroup: Introduce memory_tiered_limits cgroup mount option
Date: Thu, 23 Apr 2026 13:34:35 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260423203445.2914963-2-joshua.hahnjy@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260423203445.2914963-1-joshua.hahnjy@gmail.com>

Introduce a cgroup mount option memory_tiered_limits to enable
tier-proportional scaling of the memory cgroup controller limits
memory.{min, low, high, max}.

The mount option currently does not have any effect.
Later commits will scale memcg limits proportional to the system's
toptier:total capacity ratio.
