The root_mem_cgroup check should be in 3rd while oom_group stuff should be in 4th. >> >> Shouldn't there be a CSS_ONLINE check?

First, should we do a css_get on the newly selected memcg within the for loop when we still have a reference to it? Second, for the OFFLINE memcg, you are right oom_evaluate_memcg() will return 0 for offlined memcgs. Maybe no need to call oom_evaluate_memcg() for offlined memcgs. -- 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
