Memory controller: OOM handling
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
Out of memory handling for cgroups over their limit. A task from the
cgroup over limit is chosen using the existing OOM logic and killed.

TODO:
1. As discussed in the OLS BOF session, consider implementing a user
space policy for OOM handling.
