I have already explained why I have acked it. I will not repeat

(https://lkml.org/lkml/2013/12/12/174) which IMO is more viable because
it handles both user/kernel memcg OOM consistently. This patch still has
to be discussed because of other Johannes concerns. I plan to repost it
in a near future.

This three ring circus has to end.  Really.

Your patch, which is partially based on my suggestion to move the 
mem_cgroup_oom_notify() and call it from two places to support both 
memory.oom_control == 1 and != 1, is something that I liked as you know.  
It's based on my patch which is now removed from -mm.  So if you want to 
rebase that patch and propose it, that's great, but this is yet another 
occurrence of where important patches have been yanked out just before the 
merge window when the problem they are fixing is real and we depend on 
them.

Please post your rebased patch ASAP for the 3.14 merge window.
