I have to admit I do not remember such a discussion. There were many on
the related topic, concerns were mostly about a proper accounting of
shared resources or locking required to gain the information. I do not
remember overhead as being the main concern as oom is a real cold path.

Anyway, if you want to revamp those patches then feel free to CC me and
we can discuss further. I do not want to hijack this thread by an
unrelated topic.
