I don't think we need to introduce user-visible knob interface (even if it is in
debugfs), for I think that my approach can solve your problem. Please try OOM lockup
(CVE-2016-10723) mitigation patch ( https://marc.info/?l=linux-mm&m=153112243424285&w=4 )
and my cleanup patch ( [PATCH 1/2] at https://marc.info/?l=linux-mm&m=153119509215026&w=4 )
on top of linux.git . And please reply how was the result, for I'm currently asking
Roman whether we can apply these patches before applying the cgroup-aware OOM killer.
