%
% This script simulates reclaim protection behavior on a single level of memcg
% hierarchy to illustrate how overcommitted protection spreads among siblings
% (as it depends also on their current consumption).
%
% Simulation assumes siblings consumed the initial amount of memory (w/out
% reclaim) and then the reclaim starts, all memory is reclaimable, i.e. treated
% same. It simulates only non-low reclaim and assumes all memory.min = 0.
%
% Input configurations
% --------------------
% E number parent effective protection
% n vector nominal protection of siblings set at the given level (memory.low)
% c vector current consumption -,,- (memory.current)
% example from testcase (values in GB)
E = 50 / 1024;
n = [75 25 0 500 ] / 1024;
c = [50 50 50 0] / 1024;
% Reclaim parameters
% ------------------
% Minimal reclaim amount (GB)
cluster = 32*4 / 2**20;
% Reclaim coefficient (think as 0.5^sc->priority)
alpha = .1
% Simulation parameters

Implementation Notes
- This generated page is the file-by-file coverage layer; curated subsystem chapters should link here when they synthesize a multi-file control flow.
- Core OS pages should be promoted from atlas-only to deep-reviewed when they explain data structures, invariants, locking, lifecycle, and C implementation snippets.
- Driver-family pages are intentionally pattern-oriented unless they are part of the selected PCIe/NVMe representative device path.
