Andrew, will you pick up "[PATCH 3/2] memcg: Facilitate termination of memcg OOM victims." ?
Since mm-oom-marks-all-killed-tasks-as-oom-victims.patch does not call mark_oom_victim()
when task_will_free_mem() == true, memcg-do-not-report-racy-no-eligible-oom-tasks.patch
does not close the race whereas my patch closes the race better.
