Por padrão, a OOM está supervisionando os cgroups.
memory.oom_control
contains a flag (0 or 1) that enables or disables the Out of Memory killer for a cgroup. If enabled (0), tasks that attempt to consume more memory than they are allowed are immediately killed by the OOM killer. The OOM killer is enabled by default in every cgroup using the memory subsystem; to disable it, write 1 to the memory.oom_control file:
~]# echo 1 > /cgroup/memory/lab1/memory.oom_control
When the OOM killer is disabled, tasks that attempt to use more memory than they are allowed are paused until additional memory is freed.
