Traditionally, the OOM killer is operating on a process level.
Under oom conditions, it finds a process with the highest oom score
and kills it.
This behavior doesn't suit well the system with many running
containers. There are two main issues:
1) There is no fairness between containers. A small container with
few large processes will be chosen over a large one with huge
number of small processes.
2) Containers often do not expect that some random process inside
will be killed. In many cases much more safer behavior is to kill
all tasks in the container. Traditionally, this was implemented
in userspace, but doing it in the kernel has some advantages,
especially in a case of a system-wide OOM.
3) Per-process oom_score_adj affects global OOM, so it's a breache
in the isolation.
To address these issues, cgroup-aware OOM killer is introduced.
Under OOM conditions, it tries to find the biggest memory consumer,
and free memory by killing corresponding task(s). The difference
the "traditional" OOM killer is that it can treat memory cgroups
as memory consumers as well as single processes.
By default, it will look for the biggest leaf cgroup, and kill
the largest task inside.
But a user can change this behavior by enabling the per-cgroup
oom_kill_all_tasks option. If set, it causes the OOM killer treat
the whole cgroup as an indivisible memory consumer. In case if it's
selected as on OOM victim, all belonging tasks will be killed.
Tasks in the root cgroup are treated as independent memory consumers,
and are compared with other memory consumers (e.g. leaf cgroups).
The root cgroup doesn't support the oom_kill_all_tasks feature.
