Sure, you're right.

Fixed version below.

Thank you!

Subject: [v7 5/5] mm, oom: allow disabling cgroup-aware OOM killer

Introducing of cgroup-aware OOM killer changes the victim selection
algorithm used by default: instead of picking the largest process,
it will pick the largest memcg and then the largest process inside.

This affects only cgroup v2 users.

To provide a way to use cgroups v2 if the old OOM victim selection
algorithm is preferred for some reason, the cgroup.memory=nogroupoom
boot option is added.

If set, the OOM selection is performed in a "traditional" per-process
way. Both oom_priority and oom_group memcg knobs are ignored.
