> Turning on cgroups_limit_swap effectively disables memory isolation
> -------------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: MESOS-2128
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MESOS-2128
> Project: Mesos
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: isolation
> Environment: mesos-0.20.1 on 3.8.13-26.2.2.el6uek.x86_64
> Reporter: Bjoern Metzdorf
> Labels: twitter
>
> Our test runs show that enabling cgroups_limit_swap effectively disables
> memory isolation altogether.
> Per:
> https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux/6/html/Resource_Management_Guide/sec-memory.html
> "It is important to set the memory.limit_in_bytes parameter before setting
> the memory.memsw.limit_in_bytes parameter: attempting to do so in the reverse
> order results in an error. This is because memory.memsw.limit_in_bytes
> becomes available only after all memory limitations (previously set in
> memory.limit_in_bytes) are exhausted."
> Looks like the flag sets "memory.memsw.limit_in_bytes" if true and
> "memory.limit_in_bytes" if false, but should always set
> "memory.limit_in_bytes" and in addition set "memory.memsw.limit_in_bytes" if
> true. Otherwise the limits won't be set and enforced.
