Michal Koutný f10b6e9a8e selftests: memcg: adjust expected reclaim values of protected cgroups
The numbers are not easy to derive in a closed form (certainly mere
protections ratios do not apply), therefore use a simulation to obtain
expected numbers.

% 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;

% ------------------
% Minimal reclaim amount (GB)

% Reclaim coefficient (think as 0.5^sc->priority)
