Subject: [patch -mm 4/6 updated] mm, memcg: evaluate root and leaf memcgs
 fairly on oom

There are several downsides to the current implementation that compares
the root mem cgroup with leaf mem cgroups for the cgroup-aware oom killer.

For example, /proc/pid/oom_score_adj is accounted for processes attached
to the root mem cgroup but not leaves.  This leads to wild inconsistencies
that unfairly bias for or against the root mem cgroup.

Assume a 728KB bash shell is attached to the root mem cgroup without any
other processes having a non-default /proc/pid/oom_score_adj.  At the time
of system oom, the root mem cgroup evaluated to 43,474 pages after boot.
If the bash shell adjusts its /proc/self/oom_score_adj to 1000, however,
the root mem cgroup evaluates to 24,765,482 pages lol.  It would take a
cgroup 95GB of memory to outweigh the root mem cgroup's evaluation.

The reverse is even more confusing: if the bash shell adjusts its
/proc/self/oom_score_adj to -999, the root mem cgroup evaluates to 42,268
pages, a basically meaningless transformation.

/proc/pid/oom_score_adj is discounted, however, for processes attached to
leaf mem cgroups.  If a sole process using 250MB of memory is attached to
a mem cgroup, it evaluates to 250MB >> PAGE_SHIFT.  If its
/proc/pid/oom_score_adj is changed to -999, or even 1000, the evaluation
remains the same for the mem cgroup.

The heuristic that is used for the root mem cgroup also differs from leaf
mem cgroups.

For the root mem cgroup, the evaluation is the sum of all process's
/proc/pid/oom_score.  Besides factoring in oom_score_adj, it is based on
the sum of rss + swap + page tables for all processes attached to it.
For leaf mem cgroups, it is based on the amount of anonymous or
unevictable memory + unreclaimable slab + kernel stack + sock + swap.

There's also an exemption for root mem cgroup processes that do not
intersect the allocating process's mems_allowed.  Because the current
heuristic is based on oom_badness(), the evaluation of the root mem
cgroup disregards all processes attached to it that have disjoint
mems_allowed making oom selection specifically dependant on the
allocating process for system oom conditions!

This patch introduces completely fair comparison between the root mem
cgroup and leaf mem cgroups.  It compares them with the same heuristic
and does not prefer one over the other.  It disregards oom_score_adj
as the cgroup-aware oom killer should, if enabled by memory.oom_policy.
The goal is to target the most memory consuming cgroup on the system,
not consider per-process adjustment.

The fact that the evaluation of all mem cgroups depends on the mempolicy
of the allocating process, which is completely undocumented for the
cgroup-aware oom killer, will be addressed in a subsequent patch.

 The root cgroup is treated as a leaf memory cgroup as well, so it is
