Yes. Unless you have disabled it with CONFIG_MEMCG_KMEM or
cgroup.memory=nokmem, dentries and inodes are charged to respective
cgroups. And you can limit overall memory of a cgroup, see
memory.{max,high} attributes. (You suggest this inode/dentry consumption
is dominant enough to affect other jobs, so the limit would keep it
constrained as you intend).

HTH,
Michal
