The oom_control provides functionality to disable memcg oom-killer, notifications on oom-kill and reading the stats regarding oom-kills. This interface was mainly introduced to provide functionality for userspace oom-killers. However it is not robust enough and only supports OOM handling in the page fault path. For v2, the users can use the combination of memory.events notifications, memory.high and PSI to provide userspace OOM-killing functionality. Actually LMKD in Android and OOMd in systemd and Meta infrastructure already use PSI in combination with other stats to implement userspace OOM-killing. Let's start the deprecation process for v1 and gather the info on how the current users are using this interface and work on providing a more robust functionality in v2.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
