Subject: [RFC PATCH v3 08/14] mm/memcontrol: Make memory.low and memory.min tier-aware
Date: Fri, 7 Aug 2026 13:20:51 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260807202059.2620949-9-joshua.hahnjy@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260807202059.2620949-1-joshua.hahnjy@gmail.com>
On machines serving multiple workloads whose memory is isolated via
the memory cgroup controller, it is currently impossible to enforce a
fair distribution of tiered memory among the workloads, as the only
enforceable limits have to do with total memory footprint, but not where
that memory resides.
This makes ensuring a consistent and baseline performance difficult, as
each workload's performance is heavily impacted by workload-external
factors such as which other workloads are co-located in the same host,
and the order at which different workloads are started.
Extend the existing memory.{low, min} protection to be tier-aware in
order to enforce proportional best-effort and guaranteed memory
protection of higher-tier memory.
No-op unless the system has tiered memcg limits enabled.
