Have you considered adding memcg's oom alternative for the global case
as well. It would be useful to see how many times we hit the OOM
condition without killing anything. That could help debugging issues
when the OOM killer cannot be invoked (e.g. GFP_NO{FS,IO} contextx)
and the system cannot get out of the oom situation.
