From 5a2d41961dd6815b874b5c0afec0ac96cd90eea4 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: KAMEZAWA Hiroyuki Date: Mon, 22 Feb 2010 12:44:14 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] memcg: fix oom killing a child process in an other cgroup Presently the oom-killer is memcg aware and it finds the worst process from processes under memcg(s) in oom. Then, it kills victim's child first. It may kill a child in another cgroup and may not be any help for recovery. And it will break the assumption users have. This patch fixes it.
