One of two main goals of this patchset is to introduce cgroup-level fairness: bigger cgroups should be affected more than smaller, despite the size of tasks inside. I believe the same principle should be used for cgroups. Also, the opposite will make oom_semantics more weird: it will mean kill all tasks, but also treat memcg as a leaf cgroup. > > I didn't get to read the new version of this series yet and hope to get > to it soon.
