We run a lot of automated tests when building our software and run into OOM scenarios when the tests run unbounded. v1 memcg exports memcg->watermark as "memory.max_usage_in_bytes" in sysfs. We use this metric to heuristically limit the number of tests that can run in parallel based on per test historical data. This metric is currently not exported for v2 memcg and there is no other easy way of getting this information. getrusage() syscall returns "ru_maxrss" which can be used as an approximation but that's the max RSS of a single child process across all children instead of the aggregated max for all child processes. The only work around is to periodically poll "memory.current" but that's not practical for short-lived one-off cgroups. Hence, expose memcg->watermark as "memory.peak" for v2 memcg.

README
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
