This patchset implements userspace out of memory handling.

It is based on v3.14-rc5.  Individual patches will apply cleanly or you
may pull the entire series from

	git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rientjes/linux.git mm/oom

When the system or a memcg is oom, processes running on that system or
attached to that memcg cannot allocate memory.  It is impossible for a
process to reliably handle the oom condition from userspace.

ISTR the conclusion last time was nack on the whole approach.  What
changed between then and now?  I can't detect any fundamental changes
from the description.

Thanks.
