Subject: [PATCH v2 08/11] mm: Add transformation message for per-memcg swappiness
Date: Tue, 11 Mar 2025 13:36:25 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250311123640.530377-9-mkoutny@suse.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20250311123640.530377-1-mkoutny@suse.com>
The concept of per-memcg swappiness has never landed well in memcg for
cgroup v2. Add a message to users who use it on v1 hierarchy.
Decreased swappiness transforms to memory.swap.max=0 whereas
increased swappiness transforms into active memory.reclaim operation.
