.SH "NAME"
systemd.resource-control \- Resource control unit settings
.SH "SYNOPSIS"
.PP
\fIslice\fR\&.slice,
\fIscope\fR\&.scope,
\fIservice\fR\&.service,
\fIsocket\fR\&.socket,
\fImount\fR\&.mount,
\fIswap\fR\&.swap
.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.PP
Unit configuration files for services, slices, scopes, sockets, mount points, and swap devices share a subset of configuration options for resource control of spawned processes\&. Internally, this relies on the Linux Control Groups (cgroups) kernel concept for organizing processes in a hierarchical tree of named groups for the purpose of resource management\&.
.PP
This man page lists the configuration options shared by those six unit types\&. See
\fBsystemd.unit\fR(5)
for the common options of all unit configuration files, and
\fBsystemd.slice\fR(5),
\fBsystemd.scope\fR(5),
\fBsystemd.service\fR(5),
\fBsystemd.socket\fR(5),
\fBsystemd.mount\fR(5), and
\fBsystemd.swap\fR(5)
for more information on the specific unit configuration files\&. The resource control configuration options are configured in the [Slice], [Scope], [Service], [Socket], [Mount], or [Swap] sections, depending on the unit type\&.
.PP
In addition, options which control resources available to programs
\fIexecuted\fR
by systemd are listed in
\fBsystemd.exec\fR(5)\&. Those options complement options listed here\&.
.SS "Enabling and disabling controllers"
.PP
Controllers in the cgroup hierarchy are hierarchical, and resource control is realized by distributing resource assignments between siblings in branches of the cgroup hierarchy\&. There is no need to explicitly
\fIenable\fR
a cgroup controller for a unit\&.
\fBsystemd\fR
will instruct the kernel to enable a controller for a given unit when this unit has configuration for a given controller\&. For example, when
\fICPUWeight=\fR
is set, the
\fBcpu\fR
controller will be enabled, and when
\fITasksMax=\fR
are set, the
\fBpids\fR
controller will be enabled\&. In addition, various controllers may be also be enabled explicitly via the
\fIMemoryAccounting=\fR/\fITasksAccounting=\fR/\fIIOAccounting=\fR
settings\&. Because of how the cgroup hierarchy works, controllers will be automatically enabled for all parent units and for any sibling units starting with the lowest level at which a controller is enabled\&. Units for which a controller is enabled may be subject to resource control even if they don\*(Aqt have any explicit configuration\&.
.PP
Setting
\fIDelegate=\fR
enables any delegated controllers for that unit (see below)\&. The delegatee may then enable controllers for its children as appropriate\&. In particular, if the delegatee is
\fBsystemd\fR
(in the
user@\&.service
unit), it will repeat the same logic as the system instance and enable controllers for user units which have resource limits configured, and their siblings and parents and parents\*(Aq siblings\&.
.PP
Controllers may be
\fIdisabled\fR
for parts of the cgroup hierarchy with
\fIDisableControllers=\fR
(see below)\&.

.PP
In this hierarchy, the
\fBcpu\fR
controller is enabled for all units shown except
b1\&.service
and
b2\&.service\&. Because there is no explicit configuration for
system\&.slice
and
user\&.slice, CPU resources will be split equally between them\&. Similarly, resources are allocated equally between children of
user\&.slice
and between the child slices beneath
user@1000\&.service\&. Assuming that there is no further configuration of resources or delegation below slices
app\&.slice
or
session\&.slice, the
\fBcpu\fR
controller would not be enabled for units in those slices and CPU resources would be further allocated using other mechanisms, e\&.g\&. based on nice levels\&. The manager for user 42 has delegation enabled without any controllers, i\&.e\&. it can manipulate its subtree of the cgroup hierarchy, but without resource control\&.
.PP
In the slice
system\&.slice, CPU resources are split 1:6 for service
a\&.service, and 5:6 for slice
b\&.slice, because slice
b\&.slice
gets the default value of 100 for
cpu\&.weight
when
\fICPUWeight=\fR
is not set\&.
.PP
\fICPUWeight=\fR
setting in service
b2\&.service
is neutralized by
\fIDisableControllers=\fR
in slice
b\&.slice, so the
\fBcpu\fR
controller would not be enabled for services
b1\&.service
and
b2\&.service, and CPU resources would be further allocated using other mechanisms, e\&.g\&. based on nice levels\&.
.SS "Setting resource controls for a group of related units"
.PP
As described in
\fBsystemd.unit\fR(5), the settings listed here may be set through the main file of a unit and drop\-in snippets in
*\&.d/
directories\&. The list of directories searched for drop\-ins includes names formed by repeatedly truncating the unit name after all dashes\&. This is particularly convenient to set resource limits for a group of units with similar names\&.
.PP
For example, every user gets their own slice
user\-\fInnn\fR\&.slice\&. Drop\-ins with local configuration that affect user 1000 may be placed in
/etc/systemd/system/user\-1000\&.slice,
/etc/systemd/system/user\-1000\&.slice\&.d/*\&.conf, but also
/etc/systemd/system/user\-\&.slice\&.d/*\&.conf\&. This last directory applies to all user slices\&.

dependencies on the specified slice unit\&.
.RE
.SH "OPTIONS"
.PP
Units of the types listed above can have settings for resource control configuration:
.SS "CPU Accounting and Control"
.PP
\fICPUAccounting=\fR
.RS 4
Turn on CPU usage accounting for this unit\&. Takes a boolean argument\&. Note that turning on CPU accounting for one unit will also implicitly turn it on for all units contained in the same slice and for all its parent slices and the units contained therein\&. The system default for this setting may be controlled with
\fIDefaultCPUAccounting=\fR
in
\fBsystemd-system.conf\fR(5)\&.
.sp
Under the unified cgroup hierarchy, CPU accounting is available for all units and this setting has no effect\&.
.sp
Added in version 208\&.
.RE
.PP
\fICPUWeight=\fR\fI\fIweight\fR\fR, \fIStartupCPUWeight=\fR\fI\fIweight\fR\fR
.RS 4
These settings control the
\fBcpu\fR
controller in the unified hierarchy\&.
.sp
These options accept an integer value or a the special string "idle":
.sp
.RS 4
.ie n \{\
\h'-04'\(bu\h'+03'\c
.\}
.el \{\
.sp -1
.IP \(bu 2.3
.\}
If set to an integer value, assign the specified CPU time weight to the processes executed, if the unified control group hierarchy is used on the system\&. These options control the
"cpu\&.weight"
control group attribute\&. The allowed range is 1 to 10000\&. Defaults to unset, but the kernel default is 100\&. For details about this control group attribute, see
\m[blue]\fBControl Groups v2\fR\m[]\&\s-2\u[2]\d\s+2
and
\m[blue]\fBCFS Scheduler\fR\m[]\&\s-2\u[3]\d\s+2\&. The available CPU time is split up among all units within one slice relative to their CPU time weight\&. A higher weight means more CPU time, a lower weight means less\&.
.RE
.sp
.RS 4
.ie n \{\
\h'-04'\(bu\h'+03'\c
.\}
.el \{\
.sp -1
.IP \(bu 2.3
.\}
If set to the special string "idle", mark the cgroup for "idle scheduling", which means that it will get CPU resources only when there are no processes not marked in this way to execute in this cgroup or its siblings\&. This setting corresponds to the
"cpu\&.idle"
cgroup attribute\&.
.sp
Note that this value only has an effect on cgroup\-v2, for cgroup\-v1 it is equivalent to the minimum weight\&.
.RE
.sp
While
\fIStartupCPUWeight=\fR
applies to the startup and shutdown phases of the system,
\fICPUWeight=\fR
applies to normal runtime of the system, and if the former is not set also to the startup and shutdown phases\&. Using
\fIStartupCPUWeight=\fR
allows prioritizing specific services at boot\-up and shutdown differently than during normal runtime\&.
.sp
In addition to the resource allocation performed by the
\fBcpu\fR
controller, the kernel may automatically divide resources based on session\-id grouping, see "The autogroup feature" in
\fBsched\fR(7)\&. The effect of this feature is similar to the
\fBcpu\fR
controller with no explicit configuration, so users should be careful to not mistake one for the other\&.
.sp
Added in version 232\&.
.RE
.PP
\fICPUQuota=\fR
.RS 4
This setting controls the
\fBcpu\fR
controller in the unified hierarchy\&.
.sp
Assign the specified CPU time quota to the processes executed\&. Takes a percentage value, suffixed with "%"\&. The percentage specifies how much CPU time the unit shall get at maximum, relative to the total CPU time available on one CPU\&. Use values > 100% for allotting CPU time on more than one CPU\&. This controls the
"cpu\&.max"
attribute on the unified control group hierarchy and
"cpu\&.cfs_quota_us"
on legacy\&. For details about these control group attributes, see
\m[blue]\fBControl Groups v2\fR\m[]\&\s-2\u[2]\d\s+2
and
\m[blue]\fBCFS Bandwidth Control\fR\m[]\&\s-2\u[4]\d\s+2\&. Setting
\fICPUQuota=\fR
to an empty value unsets the quota\&.
.sp
Example:
\fICPUQuota=20%\fR
ensures that the executed processes will never get more than 20% CPU time on one CPU\&.
.sp
Added in version 213\&.
.RE
.PP
\fICPUQuotaPeriodSec=\fR
.RS 4
This setting controls the
\fBcpu\fR
controller in the unified hierarchy\&.
.sp
Assign the duration over which the CPU time quota specified by
\fICPUQuota=\fR
is measured\&. Takes a time duration value in seconds, with an optional suffix such as "ms" for milliseconds (or "s" for seconds\&.) The default setting is 100ms\&. The period is clamped to the range supported by the kernel, which is [1ms, 1000ms]\&. Additionally, the period is adjusted up so that the quota interval is also at least 1ms\&. Setting
\fICPUQuotaPeriodSec=\fR
to an empty value resets it to the default\&.
.sp
This controls the second field of
"cpu\&.max"
attribute on the unified control group hierarchy and
"cpu\&.cfs_period_us"
on legacy\&. For details about these control group attributes, see
\m[blue]\fBControl Groups v2\fR\m[]\&\s-2\u[2]\d\s+2
and
\m[blue]\fBCFS Scheduler\fR\m[]\&\s-2\u[3]\d\s+2\&.

.sp
Restrict processes to be executed on specific CPUs\&. Takes a list of CPU indices or ranges separated by either whitespace or commas\&. CPU ranges are specified by the lower and upper CPU indices separated by a dash\&.
.sp
Setting
\fIAllowedCPUs=\fR
or
\fIStartupAllowedCPUs=\fR
doesn\*(Aqt guarantee that all of the CPUs will be used by the processes as it may be limited by parent units\&. The effective configuration is reported as

.RS 4
These settings control the
\fBmemory\fR
controller in the unified hierarchy\&.
.sp
Specify the memory usage protection of the executed processes in this unit\&. When reclaiming memory, the unit is treated as if it was using less memory resulting in memory to be preferentially reclaimed from unprotected units\&. Using
\fIMemoryLow=\fR
results in a weaker protection where memory may still be reclaimed to avoid invoking the OOM killer in case there is no other reclaimable memory\&.
.sp
For a protection to be effective, it is generally required to set a corresponding allocation on all ancestors, which is then distributed between children (with the exception of the root slice)\&. Any
\fIMemoryMin=\fR
or
\fIMemoryLow=\fR
allocation that is not explicitly distributed to specific children is used to create a shared protection for all children\&. As this is a shared protection, the children will freely compete for the memory\&.
.sp
Takes a memory size in bytes\&. If the value is suffixed with K, M, G or T, the specified memory size is parsed as Kilobytes, Megabytes, Gigabytes, or Terabytes (with the base 1024), respectively\&. Alternatively, a percentage value may be specified, which is taken relative to the installed physical memory on the system\&. If assigned the special value
"infinity", all available memory is protected, which may be useful in order to always inherit all of the protection afforded by ancestors\&. This controls the
"memory\&.min"
or
"memory\&.low"
control group attribute\&. For details about this control group attribute, see
\m[blue]\fBMemory Interface Files\fR\m[]\&\s-2\u[5]\d\s+2\&.
.sp
Units may have their children use a default
"memory\&.min"
or
"memory\&.low"
value by specifying
\fIDefaultMemoryMin=\fR
or
\fIDefaultMemoryLow=\fR, which has the same semantics as
\fIMemoryMin=\fR
and
\fIMemoryLow=\fR, or
\fIDefaultStartupMemoryLow=\fR
which has the same semantics as
\fIStartupMemoryLow=\fR\&. This setting does not affect
"memory\&.min"
or
"memory\&.low"
in the unit itself\&. Using it to set a default child allocation is only useful on kernels older than 5\&.7, which do not support the
"memory_recursiveprot"
cgroup2 mount option\&.

Note that for socket\-activated services, the IP access list configured on the socket unit applies to all sockets associated with it directly, but not to any sockets created by the ultimately activated services for it\&.

Thus, it is usually a good idea, to replicate the IP filter programs on both the socket and the service unit, however it often makes sense to maintain one configuration more open and the other one more restricted, depending on the use case\&.
.sp
Note that these settings might not be supported on some systems (for example if eBPF control group support is not enabled in the underlying kernel or container manager)\&. These settings will fail the service in that case\&. If compatibility with such systems is desired it is hence recommended to attach your filter manually (requires

\fIBPFProgram=\fR
allows attaching custom BPF programs to the cgroup of a unit\&. (This generalizes the functionality exposed via
\fIIPEgressFilterPath=\fR

\fIIPIngressFilterPath=\fR
for other hooks\&.) Cgroup\-bpf hooks in the form of BPF programs loaded to the BPF filesystem are attached with cgroup\-bpf attach flags determined by the unit\&. For details about attachment types and flags see

The specification of BPF program consists of a pair of BPF program type and program path in the file system, with
":"
as the separator:
\fItype\fR:\fIprogram\-path\fR\&.

The specified program path must be an absolute path referencing a BPF program inode in the bpffs file system (which generally means it must begin with
/sys/fs/bpf/)\&. If a specified program does not exist (i\&.e\&. has not been uploaded to the BPF subsystem of the kernel yet), it will not be installed but unit activation will continue (a warning will be printed to the logs)\&.

Setting
\fIBPFProgram=\fR

Multiple assignments of the same program type/path pair have the same effect as a single assignment: the program will be attached just once\&.

If BPF
\fBegress\fR

BPF programs passed with

.SS "Device Access"

\fIDeviceAllow=\fR
.RS 4
Control access to specific device nodes by the executed processes\&. Takes two space\-separated strings: a device node specifier followed by a combination of
\fBr\fR,
\fBw\fR,
\fBm\fR
to control
\fIr\fReading,
\fIw\fRriting, or creation of the specific device nodes by the unit (\fIm\fRknod), respectively\&. This functionality is implemented using eBPF filtering\&.
.sp
When access to
\fIall\fR
physical devices should be disallowed,
\fIPrivateDevices=\fR
may be used instead\&. See
\fBsystemd.exec\fR(5)\&.
.sp
The device node specifier is either a path to a device node in the file system, starting with
/dev/, or a string starting with either
"char\-"
or
"block\-"
followed by a device group name, as listed in
/proc/devices\&. The latter is useful to allow\-list all current and future devices belonging to a specific device group at once\&. The device group is matched according to filename globbing rules, you may hence use the
"*"
and
"?"
wildcards\&. (Note that such globbing wildcards are not available for device node path specifications!) In order to match device nodes by numeric major/minor, use device node paths in the
/dev/char/
and
/dev/block/
directories\&. However, matching devices by major/minor is generally not recommended as assignments are neither stable nor portable between systems or different kernel versions\&.
.sp
Examples:
/dev/sda5
is a path to a device node, referring to an ATA or SCSI block device\&.
"char\-pts"
and
"char\-alsa"
are specifiers for all pseudo TTYs and all ALSA sound devices, respectively\&.
"char\-cpu/*"
is a specifier matching all CPU related device groups\&.
.sp
Note that allow lists defined this way should only reference device groups which are resolvable at the time the unit is started\&. Any device groups not resolvable then are not added to the device allow list\&. In order to work around this limitation, consider extending service units with a pair of
\fBAfter=modprobe@xyz\&.service\fR

.sp
This option may be used to arrange systemd units in a hierarchy of slices each of which might have resource settings applied\&.

For units of type slice, the only accepted value for this setting is the parent slice\&. Since the name of a slice unit implies the parent slice, it is hence redundant to ever set this parameter directly for slice units\&.

\fIUser=\fR
setting) the unit\*(Aqs control group will be made accessible to the relevant user\&.
.sp
When enabled the service manager will refrain from manipulating control groups or moving processes below the unit\*(Aqs control group, so that a clear concept of ownership is established: the control group tree at the level of the unit\*(Aqs control group and above (i\&.e\&. towards the root control group) is owned and managed by the service manager of the host, while the control group tree below the unit\*(Aqs control group is owned and managed by the unit itself\&.
.sp
Takes either a boolean argument or a (possibly empty) list of control group controller names\&. If true, delegation is turned on, and all supported controllers are enabled for the unit, making them available to the unit\*(Aqs processes for management\&. If false, delegation is turned off entirely (and no additional controllers are enabled)\&. If set to a list of controllers, delegation is turned on, and the specified controllers are enabled for the unit\&. Assigning the empty string will enable delegation, but reset the list of controllers, and all assignments prior to this will have no effect\&. Note that additional controllers other than the ones specified might be made available as well, depending on configuration of the containing slice unit or other units contained in it\&. Defaults to false\&.
.sp
Note that controller delegation to less privileged code is only safe on the unified control group hierarchy\&. Accordingly, access to the specified controllers will not be granted to unprivileged services on the legacy hierarchy, even when requested\&.

cgroup\&.procs
is not an acceptable name, since the kernel exposes a native control group attribute file by that name)\&. This option has no effect unless control group delegation is turned on via
