AFAICS, if a cgroup cannot be shrunk back to its low limit (e.g.
because it consumes anon memory, and there's no swap), it will get on
with it. Is it considered to be a problem? Are there any plans to fix
it, e.g. by invoking OOM-killer in a cgroup that is above its low limit
if we fail to reclaim from it?

Thanks,
Vladimir
