How to control swap usage of particuler process ?

Solution Verified - Updated -

Issue

  • We would like to control some app processes on swapping in RHEL 6.
  • We want to set (from OS) the swap amount that the app processes can use. We understand that cgroups can do that for CPU and memory but we don't see it can do for swap. Is there any way from RHEL OS being able to do that?

Environment

  • Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6
