Out of memory doesn't necessarily imply a kill.

It seems like that would either bias toward or bias against cgroups that opt-in. I suggest comparing memory cgroups at each level in the hierarchy based on your new badness heuristic, regardless of any tunables it has enabled. Then kill either the largest process or all the processes attached depending on oom_group or oom_kill_all. > Also, as the whole thing is based on comparison between processes and > memcgs, we probably need oom_priority for processes. I think with the constraints of cgroup v2 that a victim memcg must first be chosen, and then a victim process attached to that memcg must be chosen or all eligible processes attached to it be killed, depending on the tunable. The simplest and most clear way to define this, in my opinion, is to implement a heuristic that compares sibling memcgs based on usage, as you have done. This can be overridden by a memory.oom_priority that userspace defines, and is enough support for them to change victim selection (no mount option needed, just set memory.oom_priority). Then kill the largest process or all eligible processes attached. We only use per-process priority to override process selection compared to sibling memcgs, but with cgroup v2 process constraints it doesn't seem like that is within the scope of your patchset. -- To unsubscribe, send a message with 'unsubscribe linux-mm' in the body to majordomo@xxxxxxxxx.
