It might be a bit off-topic, but memcg's check for last_oom_jiffies seems
not to work well under heavy load, and pagefault_out_of_memory() causes
global oom.
Step.1 make a memory cgroup directory and sed memory.limit_in_bytes to a small value
> mkdir /cgroup/memory/test
> echo 1M >/cgroup/memory/test/memory.limit_in_bytes
Stem.2 run attached test program(which allocates memory and does fork recursively)
> ./recursive_fork -c 8 -s `expr 1 \* 1024 \* 1024`
This causes not only memcg's oom, but also global oom(My machine has 8 CPUS).

I take a kdump by enabling panic_on_oom, and compared the last_oom_jiffies and jiffies.
crash> struct mem_cgroup.last_oom_jiffies 0xffffc90013514000
last_oom_jiffies = 4642757419,
crash> p jiffies
jiffies = $10 = 4642757607
I agree this is a extreme example, but this is not a desirable behavior.
Changing "HZ/10" in mem_cgroup_last_oom_called() to "HZ/2" or some would fix
this case, but it's not a essential fix.
Any thoughts?
Regards,
Daisuke Nishimura.
