From ac7b79fd190b02e7151bc7d2b9da692f537657f3 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Shakeel Butt Date: Sat, 19 Dec 2020 20:46:08 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] inotify, memcg: account inotify instances to kmemcg Currently the fs sysctl inotify/max_user_instances is used to limit the number of inotify instances on the system. For systems running multiple workloads, the per-user namespace sysctl max_inotify_instances can be used to further partition inotify instances. However there is no easy way to set a sensible system level max limit on inotify instances and further partition it between the workloads. It is much easier to charge the underlying resource (i.e. memory) behind the inotify instances to the memcg of the workload and let their memory limits limit the number of inotify instances they can create. With inotify instances charged to memcg, the admin can simply set max_user_instances to INT_MAX and let the memcg limits of the jobs limit their inotify instances.
