Tejun Heo be09102b41 mm: memcg: allow lowering memory.swap.max below the current usage ... Currently an attempt to set swap.max into a value lower than the actual swap usage fails, which causes configuration problems as there's no way of lowering the configuration below the current usage short of turning off swap entirely. This makes swap.max difficult to use and allows delegatees to lock the delegator out of reducing swap allocation. This patch updates swap_max_write() so that the limit can be lowered below the current usage. It doesn't implement active reclaiming of swap entries for the following reasons. * mem_cgroup_swap_full() already tells the swap machinary to aggressively reclaim swap entries if the usage is above 50% of limit, so simply lowering the limit automatically triggers gradual reclaim. * Forcing back swapped out pages is likely to heavily impact the workload and mess up the working set. Given that swap usually is a lot less valuable and less scarce, letting the existing usage dissipate over time through the above gradual reclaim and as they're falted back in is likely the better behavior.
