This is rather modest to give an idea how the whole thing is supposed to work. I have looked through patches very quickly but there is no overall design described anywhere either. Please could you give us a high level design description and reasoning why certain decisions have been made? e.g. why is this limited to the global oom sitation, why is the BPF program forced to operate on memcgs as entities etc... Also it would be very helpful to call out limitations of the BPF program, if there are any. Thanks! -- Michal Hocko SUSE Labs
