Why ulimit can't limit resident memory successfully and how?

Question

I start a new bash shell, and execute:

ulimit -a
\"
core file size          (blocks, -c) 0
data seg size           (kbytes, -d) unlimited
schedu         


        

Answer 1

You can restrict the resident memory using cgroups. See Resident Set Size (RSS) limit has no effect
