Re: [-mm patch] Show memcg information during OOM (v2)

Checkpatch caught an additional space, so here is the patch again

Description: Add RSS and swap to OOM output from memcg

From: Balbir Singh <balbir@linux.vnet.ibm.com>

Changelog v2..v1:

1. Add more information about task's memcg and the memcg
over it's limit
2. Print data in KB
3. Move the print routine outside task_lock()
4. Use rcu_read_lock() around cgroup_path, strictly speaking it
is not required, but relying on the current memcg implementation
is not a good idea.

This patch displays memcg values like failcnt, usage and limit
when an OOM occurs due to memcg.

Thanks go out to Johannes Weiner, Li Zefan, David Rientjes,
Kamezawa Hiroyuki, Daisuke Nishimura and KOSAKI Motohiro for
review.

Sample output
-------------

Task in /a/x killed as a result of limit of /a
memory: usage 1048576kB, limit 1048576kB, failcnt 4183
memory+swap: usage 1400964kB, limit 9007199254740991kB, failcnt 0
