I've responded to each email providing useful feedback on this patchset.  
I agreed with Tejun about not embedding the oom mechanism into 
memory.oom_policy.  I was trying to avoid having two files in the mem 
cgroup v2 filesystem for oom policy and mechanism.  I agreed that 
delegating the mechanism to the workload would be useful in some cases.  
I've solicited feedback on any other opinions on how that can be done 
better, but it appears another tunable is the most convenient way of 
allowing this behavior to be specified.

As a result, this would remove patch 3/4 from the series.  Do you have any 
other feedback regarding the remainder of this patch series before I 
rebase it?

I will address the unfair root mem cgroup vs leaf mem cgroup comparison in 
a separate patchset to fix an issue where any user of oom_score_adj on a 
system that is not fully containerized gets very unusual, unexpected, and 
undocumented results.

Thanks.
