I see this traverses all cpusets without the hierarchy actually
mattering that much. Wouldn't the CONSTRAINT_CPUSET better achieved by
globally (or per-memcg) scanning all processes and filtering with:

Oh I see, you mean scanning all processes in all cpusets and scanning
all processes globally are equivalent.

	nodes_intersect(current->mems_allowed, p->mems_allowed

Perhaps it would be better to use nodes_equal first, and if no suitable
victim is found, then downgrade to nodes_intersect?

NUMA balancing mechanism tends to keep memory on the same NUMA node, and
if the selected victim's memory happens to be on a node that does not
intersect with the current process's node, we still won't be able to
free up any memory.

In this example:

A->mems_allowed: 0,1
B->mems_allowed: 1,2
nodes_intersect(A->mems_allowed, B->mems_allowed) == true

Memory Distribution:
+=======+=======+=======+
| Node0 | Node1 | Node2 |
+=======+=======+=======+
| A     |       |       |
+-------+-------+-------+
|       |       |B      |
+-------+-------+-------+

Process A invoke oom, then kill B.
But A still can't get any free mem on Node0 and 1.

(`current` triggers the OOM, `p` is the iterated task)
?

Thanks,
Michal
