[lxc-devel] [PATCH RFC] Allow a few basic limits to be set at creation / runtime

Dwight Engen dwight.engen at oracle.com
Tue May 27 19:37:19 UTC 2014


Currently, a user has to read kernel/Documentation/cgroups/* to know what
is available and then apply these using lxc-cgroups to set runtime limits,
or hand edit the configuration file after creating a container to set them
permanently.

This change covers the most common use cases (cpu, memory) by allowing the
user to specify them to lxc-create, and introduces a new command lxc-ctl
which allows setting the limits at run-time and/or saving them to the
containers' config file with the --save option. This functionality is
analogous to that found in vzctl, or Solaris zonecfg.

Introduce config_cgroup_find to find an already set cgroup item, and
use it in config_cgroup() to replace a value instead of appending
another entry. This means that (in for example lxc-clone) only the last
duplicate entry will now be written out.
