We need the ability to control from which subtree the kill occurs in ancestor cgroups. If multiple jobs are allocated their own cgroups and they can own memory.oom_priority for their own subcontainers, this becomes quite powerful so they can define their own oom priorities. Otherwise, they can easily override the oom priorities of other cgroups. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe cgroups" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
