Thank you, Andreas.  The file memory.limit_in_bytes is
under /cgroup/memory/lxc/[container].

By the way, what's the difference between memory.limit_in_bytes
and memory.max_usage_in_bytes?  On my system, the values are:
[root at devmachine lxc110]# cat memory.limit_in_bytes
9223372036854775807
[root at devmachine lxc110]# cat memory.max_usage_in_bytes
495345664
