When i killed them by hand, yes, they dissappeard from process list (i saw it). I don't know if they really died when OOM killed them.

No, they didn't died by OOM when cgroup was freezed. Just check PIDs from memcg-bug-4.tar.gz and try to find them in kernel log. Why are all PIDs waiting on 'mem_cgroup_handle_oom' and there is no OOM message in the log? Data in memcg-bug-4.tar.gz are only for 2 minutes but i let it run for about 15-20 minutes, no single process killed by OOM. I'm 100% sure that OOM was not killing them (maybe it was trying to but it didn't happen).

Lots of processes are dying also now, without your latest patch, and no such things are happening. I'm sure there is something more it this, maybe it revealed another bug?
