Re: [v5 2/4] mm, oom: cgroup-aware OOM killer

Hi Roman,

great work! This looks mostly good to me now. Below are some nitpicks
concerning naming and code layout, but nothing major.

Please rename 'chosen' to 'chosen_task' to make the distinction to
chosen_memcg clearer.

The ordering is a little weird too, with chosen_points in between.

	chosen_task
	chosen_memcg
	chosen_points

?

NR_SLAB_UNRECLAIMABLE is now accounted per-lruvec, which takes
nodeness into account, and so would be more accurate here.

You can get it with mem_cgroup_lruvec() and lruvec_page_state().

This is a little awkward to read. How about something like this:

	/*
	 * When killing individual tasks, we respect OOM score adjustments:
	 * at least one task in the group needs to be killable for the group
	 * to be oomable.
	 *
	 * Also check that previous OOM kills have finished, and abort if
	 * there are any pending OOM victims.
	 */
	oomable = memcg->oom_kill_all_tasks;
	while ((task = css_task_iter_next(&it))) {
		if (!oomable && task->signal_oom_score_adj != OOM_SCORE_ADJ_MIN)
			oomable = 1;

etc.

I find these much easier to read if broken up, even if it's more LOC:

	if (eligible <= 0)
		return eligible;

	return memcg_oom_badness(memcg, nodemask);

Please add comments to document the special returns. Maybe #defines
would be clearer, too.

Same here.

Maybe a switch would be suitable to handle the abort/no-score cases.

It would be good to format this branch like the block below, with a
newline and the comment before the branch block rather than inside.

That would also set apart the call to select_victim_memcg(), which is
the main workhorse of this function.

^^ like this one.

The !! are detrimental to readability and shouldn't be necessary.

This name is quite a mouthful and reminiscent of the awkward v1
interface names. It doesn't really go well with the v2 names.

How about memory.oom_group?

Can you format the above chosen == (void *)-1UL the same way? That
makes it easier to see that it's checking the same thing.
