See
https://lists.linuxcontainers.org/pipermail/lxc-users/2014-March/006414.html
and

> Since memory.failcnt also fails when Page Cache fills up the assigned memory, what is the recommended way to limit memory for a container?

Sorry, don't know offhand.

> Is disk-based swap space used as soon as memory.limit_in_bytes is reached?

I would assume so.

> For me it would make more sense to free up Page Cache before writing memory out to disk.
