I'm not ignoring them, I have stated that we need the ability to protect 
important cgroups on the system without oom disabling all attached 
processes.  If that is implemented as a memory.oom_score_adj with the same 
semantics as /proc/pid/oom_score_adj, i.e. a proportion of available 
memory (the limit), it can also address the issues pointed out with the 
hierarchical approach in v8.  If this is not the case, could you elaborate 
on what your exact concern is and why we do not care that users can 
completely circumvent victim selection by creating child cgroups for other 
controllers?

Since the ability to protect important cgroups on the system may require a 
heuristic change, I think it should be solved now rather than constantly 
insisting that we can make this patchset complete later and in the 
meantime force the user to set all attached processes to be oom disabled.
