src: configure v8 isolate with uv_get_constrained_memory
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
This change adds the ability to set the memory ceiling for a Node.js
process according to a memory limit set by cgroups (via
uv_get_constrained_memory), which is used by docker containers to set
resource constraints. Previously we would use the physical memory size
to estimate the necessary V8 heap sizes, but the physical memory size is
not necessarily the correct limit, e.g. if the process is running inside
a docker container or is otherwise constrained.

Non-Linux systems shouldn't be affected.
