The effective protection of any given cgroup is a somewhat complicated construct that depends on the ancestor's configuration, siblings' configurations, as well as current memory utilization in all these groups. It's done this way to satisfy hierarchical delegation requirements while also making the configuration semantics flexible and expressive in complex real life scenarios. Unfortunately, all the rules and requirements are sparsely documented, and the code is a little too clever in merging different scenarios into a single min() expression. This makes it hard to reason about the implementation and avoid breaking semantics when making changes to it. This patch documents each semantic rule individually and splits out the handling of the overcommit case from the regular case. Michal Koutný also points out that the points of equilibrium as described in the existing example scenarios aren't actually accurate. Delete these examples for now to avoid confusion.

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.
