The patch titled Subject: mm/oom_kill: count global and memory cgroup oom kills has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was mm-oom_kill-count-global-and-memory-cgroup-oom-kills.patch This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree ------------------------------------------------------ From: Konstantin Khlebnikov <khlebnikov@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Subject: mm/oom_kill: count global and memory cgroup oom kills Show count of oom killer invocations in /proc/vmstat and count of processes killed in memory cgroup in knob "memory.events" (in memory.oom_control for v1 cgroup). Also describe difference between "oom" and "oom_kill" in memory cgroup documentation. Currently oom in memory cgroup kills tasks iff shortage has happened inside page fault. These counters helps in monitoring oom kills - for now the only way is grepping for magic words in kernel log.
