Setting memory.oom_group on a child memcg has absolutely no meaning until memory.max is also set. In case of OOM scoped to the parent memcg or above, parent's value defines the behavior. If a user decides to create a separate OOM domain (be setting the hard memory limit), he/she can also make a decision on how OOM event should be handled.
