This is a simple listener for memory events that handles counter
changes in runtime. It can be set up for a specific memory cgroup v2.
The output example:
=====
$ /tmp/cgroup_v2_event_listener test
Initialized MEMCG events with counters:
MEMCG events:
low: 0
high: 0
max: 0
oom: 0
oom_kill: 0
oom_group_kill: 0
Started monitoring memory events from '/sys/fs/cgroup/test/memory.events'...
Received event in /sys/fs/cgroup/test/memory.events:
*** 1 MEMCG oom_kill event, change counter 0 => 1
Received event in /sys/fs/cgroup/test/memory.events:
*** 1 MEMCG oom_kill event, change counter 1 => 2
Received event in /sys/fs/cgroup/test/memory.events:
*** 1 MEMCG oom_kill event, change counter 2 => 3
Received event in /sys/fs/cgroup/test/memory.events:
*** 1 MEMCG oom_kill event, change counter 3 => 4
Received event in /sys/fs/cgroup/test/memory.events:
*** 2 MEMCG max events, change counter 0 => 2
Received event in /sys/fs/cgroup/test/memory.events:
*** 8 MEMCG max events, change counter 2 => 10
*** 1 MEMCG oom event, change counter 0 => 1
Received event in /sys/fs/cgroup/test/memory.events:
*** 1 MEMCG oom_kill event, change counter 4 => 5
^CExiting cgroup v2 event listener...

Hi all!
Please let me know if there are any specific guidelines or requirements
you would like me to consider while reviewing the work. I am open to any
suggestions or comments you may have.
Appreciate any feedback on that.

Thank you,

Hi.
I think the tools/cgroup/cgroup_event_listener.c was useful in the past
to demonstrate the non-traditional API of cgroup.event_control with FDs
passing left and right.

Event files on v2 are based on more standard poll or inotify APIs so
they don't need such a (cgroup specific) demo. Additionally, the demo
program lists individual events, so it'd be a maintenance burden to keep
them in sync with the kernel implementation.

Hello Michal,
Thank you for the feedback!

From my perspective, eventfd serves as the standard mechanism as well.
Therefore, when incorporating the cgroup v1 event listener test into my
project, I initially turned to the tools example, which proved to be
immensely beneficial. Conversely, the cgroup v2 inotify example can
solely be found within the kernel selftests. Although the prevalence of
inotify makes this somewhat understandable, having an additional example
would provide supplementary documentation, which is often invaluable to
developers operating in userspace. Of course, there are maintenance
expenses associated with this approach, as you rightly pointed out.
However, I am willing to undertake the responsibility of maintaining
this example if necessary.

Looks nice to me.
Perhaps it should be under ./samples/?
I suggest adding a comment to __memory_events_show() reminding people
to update this code if new events are added.
