Constrained allocations refer to allocations where the NUMA nodes are
restricted or something else does not allow the use of arbitrary memory.
The OOM killer changes its behavior. In the past we fell back to killing
the calling process.

See constrained_alloc() in mm/oom_kill.c

static const char * const oom_constraint_text[] = {
        [CONSTRAINT_NONE] = "CONSTRAINT_NONE",
        [CONSTRAINT_CPUSET] = "CONSTRAINT_CPUSET",
        [CONSTRAINT_MEMORY_POLICY] = "CONSTRAINT_MEMORY_POLICY",
        [CONSTRAINT_MEMCG] = "CONSTRAINT_MEMCG",
};

/*
 * Determine the type of allocation constraint.
 */
static enum oom_constraint constrained_alloc(struct oom_control *oc)
{
