[12:22] <xnox> why do we not enable swap accounting by default?
[12:22] <xnox> # CONFIG_MEMCG_SWAP_ENABLED is not set
[12:25] <rtg> xnox, it can be enabled on the kernel command line
[12:26] <rtg> swapaccount=1
[12:27] <xnox> rtg, sure, i learned that from all the docker guides. But given that we enable all the cgroups by default, shouldn't we enable swap accounting in the memory cgroup? as far as I understand without swap accounting, containers and/or systemd units can have run-away swap usage.
[12:27] <xnox> whilst being under the RAM memory limits.
[12:28] <rtg> xnox, I don't remember specifically, but the first line of the kernel help text is "Memory Resource Controller Swap Extension comes with its price in
[12:28] <rtg>           a bigger memory consumption."
[12:28] <xnox> ah, that's counter productive, isn't it =)
[12:29] <rtg> other then that, I don't have any particular knowledge
