docs cgroups: add another example size for hugetlb
Add another example to clarify that HugePages smaller than 1MB will be displayed using "KB", with an uppercased K (eg. 20KB), and not the normal SI prefix kilo (small k). Because of a misunderstanding/copy-paste error inside runc (see https://github.com/opencontainers/runc/pull/2065), it tried accessing the cgroup control file of a 64kB HugePage using "hugetlb.64kB._____" instead of the correct "hugetlb.64KB._____". Adding a new example will make it clear how sizes smaller than 1MB are handled. Signed-off-by: Odin Ugedal <odin@ugedal.com> Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org>
