So I think you're saying that mm-oom-marks-all-killed-tasks-as-oom-victims.patch and memcg-do-not-report-racy-no-eligible-oom-tasks.patch should be dropped and that "[PATCH v2] memcg: killed threads should not invoke memcg OOM killer" should be redone with some changelog alterations and should be merged instead?
