validation/linux_cgroups_*hugetlb: Use smaller limits
The previous values were giving me: container_linux.go:348: starting container process caused "process_linux.go:402: container init caused \"process_linux.go:367: setting cgroup config for procHooks process caused \\\"failed to write 56892210544640 to hugetlb.1GB.limit_in_bytes: open /sys/fs/cgroup/hugetlb/.../hugetlb.1GB.limit_in_bytes: permission denied\\\"\"" The previous values are originally from 432615a (add cgroup hugetlb test for runtime, 2017-12-05, #93), which doesn't motivate their choice. The new values are copy/pasted from the spec [1] (which doesn't motivate its choice either ;). I've kept something like Alban's comment from 984dbc8 (Fix error messages in validation cgroup tests, 2018-03-14, #605) to at least explain how the limit breaks down. In testing with my local system, the issue seems to be pageSize and not the limit value. That seems to be supported by the kernel docs, which have [2]: hugepages= [HW,X86-32,IA-64] HugeTLB pages to allocate at boot. hugepagesz= [HW,IA-64,PPC,X86-64] The size of the HugeTLB pages. On x86-64 and powerpc, this option can be specified multiple times interleaved with hugepages= to reserve huge pages of different sizes. Valid pages sizes on x86-64 are 2M (when the CPU supports "pse") and 1G (when the CPU supports the "pdpe1gb" cpuinfo flag). My CPU supports both: $ cat /proc/cpuinfo | grep '^flags' | head -n1 | grep -o ' \(pse\|pdpe1gb\) ' pse pdpe1gb but I don't set hugepagesz, and I seem to only get 2M by default. I can get 1GB entries by booting with hugepagesz=1GB. Longer-term, we may want to auto-detect the value(s) currently enabled by the host system, but for this commit I'm hard-coding 2MB.
