Up to now, the PR_SET_MEMCONTROL prctl(2) call enables user-specified action only if the total memory consumption in the memory cgroup exceeds memory.high by the additional memory threshold specified. There are cases where a user may want direct memory consumption control for certain applications even if the total cgroup memory consumption has not exceeded the limit yet. One way of doing that is to create one memory cgroup per application. However, if an application call other helper applications, these helper applications will fall into the same cgroup breaking the one application per cgroup rule. Another alternative is to enable user to enable direct per-task memory limit checking which is what this patch is about. That is for special use cases and is not recommended for general use as memory reclaim may not be triggered even if the per-task memory limit has been exceeded.
