I guess we can safely remove the memcg argument from oom_badness and oom_unkillable_task. At least from a quick glance...No we cannot actually. oom_kill_process could select a child which is in a different memcg in that case...Then, don't we need to check whether processes sharing victim->mm in other thread groups are in the same memcg when we walk the process list?
memcg is bound to the mm not to the task. So all processes sharing the mm after in the same memcg (from the memcg POV).
