Subject: [PATCH] memcg: add support to generate the total count of children from root
Date: Tue, 24 Nov 2020 10:58:36 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20201124105836.713371-1-atomlin@redhat.com> (raw)

Each memory-controlled cgroup is assigned a unique ID and the total
number of memory cgroups is limited to MEM_CGROUP_ID_MAX.

This patch provides the ability to determine the number of
memory cgroups from the root memory cgroup, only.
A value of 1 (i.e. self count) is returned if there are no children.
For example, the number of memory cgroups can be established by
reading the /sys/fs/cgroup/memory/memory.total_cnt file.
