Yeah, that is possible and something to consider. One way to go about
that is to make the selection from all cpusets with an overlap with the
requested nodemask (probably with a preference to more constrained
ones). In any case let's keep in mind that this is a mere heuristic. We
just need to kill some process, it is not really feasible to aim for the
best selection. We should just try to reduce the harm. Our exisiting
cpuset based OOM is effectivelly random without any clear relation to
cpusets so I would be open to experimenting in this area.

In addition to cpuset, users can also bind numa through mbind(). So I
want to manage numa binding applications that are not managed by cpuset.
Do you have any ideas?
