Regarding "max" as a possible input. I am not really sure to be honest. I can imagine that it could be legit to simply reclaim all the charges (e.g. before removing the memcg) which should be achieveable by reclaiming the reported consumption. Or what exactly should be the semantic?
Yeah, it just allows you to avoid reading memory.current to just reclaim everything if you can specify "max" - you're still protected by nretries to eventually bail out. Mostly, though I just feel like supporting "max" makes memory.reclaim semetric with a lot of the cgroup memory control files which tend to support "max".
