-1 or ~0 is a viable choice for userspace to
communicate 'infinite' or 'unlimited'

Linux-VServer does the accounting with atomic counters,
so that works quite fine, just do the checks at the
beginning of whatever resource allocation and the
accounting once the resource is acquired ...

it still hasn't been shown that this kind of RSS limit
doesn't add big time overhead to normal operations
(inside and outside of such a resource container)

note that the 'usual' memory accounting is much more
lightweight and serves similar purposes ...
