I thought it was merged already in 3.12. There are a few related
patches, but here's one:

commit 519e52473ebe9db5cdef44670d5a97f1fd53d721
Author: Johannes Weiner <[email protected]>

mm: memcg: enable memcg OOM killer only for user faults

System calls and kernel faults (uaccess, gup) can handle an out of memory
situation gracefully and just return -ENOMEM.

Enable the memcg OOM killer only for user faults, where it's really the
only option available.

I don't hesitate, most of the time I simply don't know.
