It depends on how your applications are taking advantage of NUMA 
optimizations.  If they're constrained by mempolicies to a subset of nodes 
then the badness scoring isn't even used: the task that triggered the OOM 
condition is the one that is automatically killed.

At this point, I think you're going to need to present an actual case 
study where Andrea's patch isn't sufficient for selecting the appropriate 
task on large NUMA machines.
