alloc_pagecache_max_30M() in the cgroup memcg tests performs a 50MB pagecache allocation, which it expects to be capped at 30MB due to the calling process having a memory.high setting of 30MB. After the allocation, the function contains a check that verifies that MB(29) < memory.current <= MB(30). This check can actually fail non-deterministically. The testcases that use this function are test_memcg_high() and test_memcg_max(), which set memory.min and memory.max to 30MB respectively for the cgroup under test. The allocation can slightly exceed this number in both cases, and for memory.max, the process performing the allocation will not have the OOM killer invoked as it's performing a pagecache allocation. This patchset therefore updates the above check to instead use the verify_close() helper function.

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.
