Hey, sorry for necro'ing a year-old thread - would you happen to remember
what the issues were with memcg_check_events()? I ran tests against
cgroupv1 using an eventfd on OOM with the usual debug arsenal and didn't
detect anything, I'm guessing it has to do with the IRQ-off region
memcg_check_events() is called from?

I want cgroupv1 to die as much as the next person, but in that specific
situation I kinda need cgroupv1 to behave somewhat sanely on RT with
threshold events :/

Cheers
