$ cgexec -g memory:foo java -Xms60m Main

The program started successfully with InitialHeapSize larger than the memory limit
After running for some time, the program memory exceeds the limit and is killed

By adding -XX:+AlwaysPreTouch, the VM will try to commit 60MB when the heap is initialized to its minimum size, and will be killed immediately by cgroups:

$ cgexec -g memory:foo java -XshowSettings:system -Xms60m -XX:+AlwaysPreTouch -version
