If 'YOUR_VMLINUX' is supposed to be my kernel image:

I'm probably doing something wrong :)



It, luckily, happend again so i have more info.

 - there wasn't any logs in kernel from OOM for that cgroup
 - there were 16 processes in cgroup
 - processes in cgroup were taking togather 100% of CPU (it was allowed to use only one core, so 100% of that core)
 - memory.failcnt was groving fast
 - oom_control:
oom_kill_disable 0
under_oom 0 (this was looping from 0 to 1)
 - limit_in_bytes was set to 157286400
 - content of stat (as you can see, the whole memory limit was used):
cache 0
rss 0
mapped_file 0
pgpgin 0
pgpgout 0
swap 0
pgfault 0
pgmajfault 0
inactive_anon 0
active_anon 0
inactive_file 0
active_file 0
unevictable 0
hierarchical_memory_limit 157286400
hierarchical_memsw_limit 157286400
total_cache 0
total_rss 157286400
total_mapped_file 0
total_pgpgin 10326454
total_pgpgout 10288054
total_swap 0
total_pgfault 12939677
total_pgmajfault 4283
total_inactive_anon 0
total_active_anon 157286400
total_inactive_file 0
total_active_file 0
total_unevictable 0


i also grabber oom_adj, oom_score_adj and stack of all processes, here it is:
http://www.watchdog.sk/lkml/memcg-bug.tar

Notice that stack is different for few processes. Stack for all processes were NOT chaging and was still the same.

Btw, don't know if it matters but i was several cgroup subsystems mounted and i'm also using them (i was not activating freezer in this case, don't know if it can be active automatically by kernel or what, didn't checked if cgroup was freezed but i suppose it wasn't):
none            /cgroups        cgroup  defaults,cpuacct,cpuset,memory,freezer,task,blkio 0 0

Thank you.
