Cannot set memory.limit_in_bytes to 102404096

After I initialize a cgroups isolate box if I execute the following command:
$ isolate --cg --cg-timing -b 500 --mem=1000000 --cg-mem=100003 --run -- ./a.out <<< "2 5"
It executes correctly, but if I set the --cg-mem parameter any higher it wont, printing the following error:
Cannot set /sys/fs/cgroup/memory/box-500/memory.limit_in_bytes to 102404096
: Invalid argument
I (not so) recently upgraded from ubuntu 20.10 to 21.04 (so 5.11 kernel) I haven't really used isolate since so I'm assuming the upgrade caused this issue, because commands like this ran fine in the old version. I also tested it right now on a server with 5.4 kernel and it didn't complain either. Has anyone experienced something like this?
It definitely seems like it has to do something with the kernel because when I boot with a 4.13 kernel it works fine.
I also ran into the same issue, I have opened a PR to fix it.
Here it is: #109

Hopefully solved, see the PR.
Yes it's solved, closing the issue.
