memcg: handle panic_on_oom=always case
Presently, if panic_on_oom=2, the whole system panics even if the oom
happend in some special situation (as cpuset, mempolicy....). Then,
panic_on_oom=2 means painc_on_oom_always.
Now, memcg doesn't check panic_on_oom flag. This patch adds a check.
BTW, how it's useful ?
kdump+panic_on_oom=2 is the last tool to investigate what happens in
oom-ed system. When a task is killed, the sysytem recovers and there will
be few hint to know what happnes. In mission critical system, oom should
never happen. Then, panic_on_oom=2+kdump is useful to avoid next OOM by
knowing precise information via snapshot.
TODO:
- For memcg, it's for isolate system's memory usage, oom-notiifer and
freeze_at_oom (or rest_at_oom) should be implemented. Then, management
daemon can do similar jobs (as kdump) or taking snapshot per cgroup.
