If you were using memory cgroup then be aware that the controller covers only user space allocations by default which doesn't prevent forks from creating new processes. > Is it possible to limit number of processes using cgroups? You might be interested in KMEM (CONFIG_MEMCG_KMEM) extension for memory cgroup (see Documentation/cgroups/memory.txt "2.7 Kernel Memory Extension (CONFIG_MEMCG_KMEM)" for more information) -- Michal Hocko SUSE Labs -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [email protected] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
