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:
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 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.
To address these issues, the cgroup-aware OOM killer is introduced.
Under OOM conditions, it looks for the biggest leaf memory cgroup
and kills the biggest task belonging to it. The following patches
will extend this functionality to consider non-leaf memory cgroups
as well, and also provide an ability to kill all tasks belonging
to the victim cgroup.
The root cgroup is treated as a leaf memory cgroup, so it's score
is compared with leaf memory cgroups.
Due to memcg statistics implementation a special algorithm
is used for estimating it's oom_score: we define it as maximum
oom_score of the belonging tasks.
