SUSE Labs Conference 2020 - Memory reclaim protection
Channel: SUSE Labs
Date: 2020-10-07

Conference held using #bigbluebutton - highly recommended!

This talk informs about the mechanism that allows moderating memory reclaim from prioritized cgroups (aka memory.low or cgroup v2). We'll explain the implementation in order to understand the behavior. Practical aspects of the deployment are also discussed and the last part examines what would be good guidelines when configuring the protection so that it works right.

It is recommended to watch also the talk Overview of memory reclaim in current upstream kernel from Vlastimil Babka.
