[slurm-users] OverMemoryKill Not Working?

but cgroups (with Constrain) do that all by themselves.

slurm.conf:
TaskPlugin=task/cgroup
JobAcctGatherParams=NoOverMemoryKill

cgroup.conf:
ConstrainRAMSpace=yes
ConstrainKmemSpace=no
ConstrainSwapSpace=yes
AllowedRamSpace=100
AllowedSwapSpace=0
MaxRAMPercent=100
MaxSwapPercent=100
MinRAMSpace=30

I think those are the relevant portions.
