Yeah but this doesn't fit very well to the existing scheme so we would need two different schemes which is not ideal from maint. point of view. We also do not have to duplicate all the tricky checks we already do in oom_evaluate_task. So I would prefer if we could try to hook there and do the special handling there. > Also, please note, that even without the kill-all flag the decision is made > on per-cgroup level (except tasks in the root cgroup). Yeah and I am not sure this is a reasonable behavior. Why should we consider memcgs which are not kill-all as a single entity? -- Michal Hocko SUSE Labs -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-doc" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
