From: Li Wang <[email protected]> madvise09 resets memory.max and memory.swap.max to "max" before retrying the child process, so the retried child does not inherit the strict memory limits from the previous run. This works for cgroup v2, where "max" is the valid unlimited value. However, cgroup v1 memory.limit_in_bytes does not accept the string "max". When the LTP cgroup abstraction maps memory.max to the v1 memory limit knob, writing "max" can fail with EINVAL: tst_test.c:1875: TINFO: Overall timeout per run is 0h 00m 30s madvise09.c:154: TBROK: vdprintf(18</sys/fs/cgroup/memory/ltp/test-27493>, 'memory.limit_in_bytes', '%s'<max>): EINVAL (22) tst_test.c:478: TINFO: Child process reported TBROK killing the test tst_test.c:1938: TINFO: Killed the leftover descendant processes Save the original cgroup v1 memory and swap limits during setup and restore those numeric values on retry. Keep using "max" for cgroup v2.
