Hi Adrian,
ConstrainRAMSpace=yes
has the effect that when the memory the job requested is exhausted the
processes of the job will start paging/swapping.
If you want to stop jobs that use more memory (RSS to be precise) than
they reqeusted, you have to add this to your cgroup.conf:
ConstrainSwapSpace=yes
AllowedSwapSpace=0

Hermann

Hi! I have a problem with the enforcing the memory limits...
I'm using the cgroup to enforce the limits and i had expected that when
cgroup memory limits are reach the job is killed ..
instead i see in log a lot of oom-killer reports that act only a certain
process
from cgroup ...
Did i missed anything in my configuration? I have the following:
SelectType=select/cons_res
SelectTypeParameters=CR_CPU_MEMORY,CR_LLN
the partition have:
DefMemPerCPU=3950 MaxMemPerCPU=4010 (i understood that these are MiB,
and physically i have 4GiB/thread)
cat cgroup.conf
CgroupAutomount=yes
TaskAffinity=no
ConstrainCores=yes
ConstrainRAMSpace=yes
ProctrackType=proctrack/cgroup
JobAcctGatherType=jobacct_gather/linux
JobAcctGatherFrequency=task=15,filesystem=120
JobAcctGatherParams=UsePss
TaskPlugin=task/affinity,task/cgroup
TaskPluginParam=autobind=threads
Is there a problem with my expectation that i should not see oom-killer?
or with my configuration?
Thank you!
Adrian
