Paul Jackson ef08e3b498 [PATCH] cpusets: confine oom_killer to mem_exclusive cpuset
Now the real motivation for this cpuset mem_exclusive patch series seems
trivial.

This patch keeps a task in or under one mem_exclusive cpuset from provoking an
oom kill of a task under a non-overlapping mem_exclusive cpuset.  Since only
interrupt and GFP_ATOMIC allocations are allowed to escape mem_exclusive
containment, there is little to gain from oom killing a task under a
non-overlapping mem_exclusive cpuset, as almost all kernel and user memory
allocation must come from disjoint memory nodes.

This patch enables configuring a system so that a runaway job under one
mem_exclusive cpuset cannot cause the killing of a job in another such cpuset
that might be using very high compute and memory resources for a prolonged
time.
