This allows to do

runc update $ID --memory=-1 --memory-swap=$VAL

for cgroup v2, i.e. set memory to unlimited and swap to a specific value.

This was not possible because ConvertMemorySwapToCgroupV2Value rejected memory=-1 ("unlimited"). In a hindsight, it was a mistake, because if memory limit is unlimited, we should treat memory+swap limit as just swap limit.

While at it, improve some comments in the code, and revise the unit test.

Fixes: c86be8a ("cgroupv2: fix setting MemorySwap") aka #2288

This mostly LGTM. Left some comments, mainly about tests.

On a quick look, it seems crun does the same: https://github.com/containers/crun/blob/main/src/libcrun/cgroup-resources.c#L711

LGTM, thanks!

I slightly prefer the version with two ifs, but this is clear anyways, it is a nit.

@kolyshkin thanks for splitting in 2 commits, it makes it really straight-forward to review :)

Improve readability of ConvertMemorySwapToCgroupV2Value by switching
from a bunch of if statements to a switch, and adding a comment
describing each case.

No functional change.

@AkihiroSuda @lifubang this is a fix that did not made its way into v1.2.0. I would still like to merge it and then open a backport to release-1.2 branch.

@kolyshkin kolyshkin added this to the 1.2.1 milestone Oct 29, 2024
