For users that are unable to update to memcg-v2 this provides a method where memcg-v1 can more effectively apply enough memory pressure to effectively throttle filesystem I/O or otherwise minimize being memcg oom killed at the expense of reduced performance.
This patch extends the memcg-v1 legacy sysfs entries with: limit_in_bytes.min, limit_in_bytes.low and limit_in_bytes.high Since old software will need to be updated to take advantage of the new files a secondary method of setting min, low and high based on a percentage of the limit is also provided. The percentages are determined by module parameters.
The available module parameters can be set at kernel boot time, for example: memcontrol.memcg_min=10 memcontrol.memcg_low=30 memcontrol.memcg_high=80
Would set min to 10%, low to 30% and high to 80% of the value written to: /sys/fs/cgroup/memory/<grp>/memory.limit_in_bytes

Hi,
Thanks for your patch.
FYI: kernel test robot notices the stable kernel rule is not satisfied.
Rule: 'Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org' or 'commit <sha1> upstream.' Subject: [PATCH] memcg-v1: Enable setting memory min, low, high Link: https://lore.kernel.org/stable/20230405110107.127156-1-shaun.tancheff%40gmai...

This is not the 1990's, why are you using module parameters for this? And this isn't a module, so why use module options, how are you supposed to set them?
And you didn't document them anywhere?
Also, why is this cc: stable?
thanks,
