+5-2-4. OOM Killer
+
+Cgroup v2 memory controller implements a cgroup-aware OOM killer.
+It means that it treats cgroups as first class OOM entities.
+
+Under OOM conditions the memory controller tries to make the best
+choice of a victim, hierarchically looking for a cgroup with the
+largest oom_priority. If sibling cgroups have the same priority,
+the OOM killer selects one which is the largest memory consumer.
+
+By default, OOM killer will kill the biggest task in the selected
+memory cgroup. A user can change this behavior by enabling
+the per-cgroup oom_group option. If set, it causes the OOM killer
+to kill all processes attached to the cgroup.
+
+Tasks in the root cgroup are treated as independent memory consumers,
+and are compared with other memory consumers (memory cgroups and
+other tasks in root cgroup).
+The root cgroup doesn't support the oom_group feature.
+
+This affects both system- and cgroup-wide OOMs. For a cgroup-wide OOM
+the memory controller considers only cgroups belonging to the sub-tree
+of the OOM'ing cgroup.
+
+If there are no cgroups with the enabled memory controller,
+the OOM killer is using the "traditional" process-based approach.
