I am wondering why are you diverging from the global oom_badness
behavior here. Although doing per NUMA accounting sounds like a better
idea but then you just end up mixing this with non NUMA numbers and the
whole thing is harder to understand without great advantages.

This and the rest of the victim selection code is really hairy and hard
to follow.

I would reap out the oom_kill_process into a separate patch.

To the rest of the patch. I have to say I do not quite like how it is
implemented. I was hoping for something much simpler which would hook
into oom_evaluate_task. If a task belongs to a memcg with kill-all flag
then we would update the cumulative memcg badness (more specifically the
badness of the topmost parent with kill-all flag). Memcg will then
compete with existing self contained tasks (oom_badness will have to
tell whether points belong to a task or a memcg to allow the caller to
deal with it). But it shouldn't be much more complex than that.

Or is there something that I am missing and that would prevent such a
simple approach?
