Automatic merge from submit-queue kubelet: eviction: add memcg threshold notifier to improve eviction responsiveness This PR adds the ability for the eviction code to get immediate notification from the kernel when the available memory in the root cgroup falls below a user defined threshold, controlled by setting the `memory.available` siginal with the `--eviction-hard` flag. This PR by itself, doesn't change anything as the frequency at which new stats can be obtained is currently controlled by the cadvisor housekeeping interval. That being the case, the call to `synchronize()` by the notification loop will very likely get stale stats and not act any more quickly than it does now. However, whenever cadvisor does get on-demand stat gathering ability, this will improve eviction responsiveness by getting async notification of the root cgroup memory state rather than relying on polling cadvisor. @vishh @derekwaynecarr @kubernetes/rh-cluster-infra
Kubernetes
Introduction
Kubernetes is an open source system for managing containerized applications across multiple hosts, providing basic mechanisms for deployment, maintenance, and scaling of applications. Kubernetes is hosted by the Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF)
Kubernetes builds upon a decade and a half of experience at Google running production workloads at scale using a system called Borg, combined with best-of-breed ideas and practices from the community.

Code of Conduct
The Kubernetes community abides by the CNCF code of conduct. Here is an excerpt:
As contributors and maintainers of this project, and in the interest of fostering an open and welcoming community, we pledge to respect all people who contribute through reporting issues, posting feature requests, updating documentation, submitting pull requests or patches, and other activities.
Community
Do you want to help "shape the evolution of technologies that are container-packaged, dynamically-scheduled and microservices-oriented? ". If you are a company, you should consider joining the CNCF. For details about who's involved in CNCF and how Kubernetes plays a role, read the announcement. For general information about our community see the website community page.
Join us on social media (Twitter, Google+) and read our blog
Ask questions and help answer them on Slack or Stack Overflow
Attend our key events (kubecon, cloudnativecon, weekly community meeting)
Join a Special Interest Group (SIG)
Contribute
If you're interested in being a contributor and want to get involved in developing Kubernetes, get started with with this reading:
- The community expectations
- The contributor guidelines
- The Kubernetes Developer Guide
You will then most certainly gain a lot from joining a SIG, attending the regular hangouts as well as the community meeting.
If you have an idea for a new feature, see the Kubernetes Features repository for a list of features that are coming in new releases as well as details on how to propose one.
Support
While there are many different channels that you can use to get hold of us (Slack, Stack Overflow, Issues, Forums/Mailing lists), you can help make sure that we are efficient in getting you the help that you need.
If you need support, start with the troubleshooting guide and work your way through the process that we've outlined.
That said, if you have questions, reach out to us one way or another. We don't bite!
