In short, kmem limiting for memory cgroups is currently broken.
Do not use it. We are working on making it usable though.

What is the best mechanism available today, until kmem limits
mature?

RLIMIT_NPROC exists but is per-user, not per-container.

Perhaps there is an up-to-date task counter patchset or similar?

I updated Frederic's task counter patches and included Max
Kellermann's fork limiter here:

http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel.containers/27212

I can send you a more recent patchset (against 3.13.10) if you
would find it useful.

Yes please, I would be interested in that. Ideally even against
3.14.1 if you have that too.

Dwight, do you have these patches in any public repo?

I would like to test them also.

Hi Marian, I put the patches against 3.13.11 and 3.14.1 up at:

git://github.com/dwengen/linux.git cpuacct-task-limit-3.13
git://github.com/dwengen/linux.git cpuacct-task-limit-3.14

Guys I tested the patches with 3.12.16. However I see a problem with
them.

Trying to set the limit to a cgroup which already have processes in
it does not work:

This is a similar check/limitation to the one for kmem in memcg, and is
done here to keep the res_counters consistent and from going negative.
It could probably be relaxed slightly by using res_counter_set_limit()
instead, but you would still need to initially set a limit before
adding tasks to the group.

[root@sp2 lxc]# echo 50 > cpuacct.task_limit
-bash: echo: write error: Device or resource busy
[root@sp2 lxc]# echo 0 > cpuacct.task_limit
-bash: echo: write error: Device or resource busy
[root@sp2 lxc]#

I have even tried to remove this check:
+               if (cgroup_task_count(cgrp)
|| !list_empty(&cgrp->children))
+                       return -EBUSY;
But still give me 'Device or resource busy'.

Any pointers of why is this happening ?
