Changing status to "Confirmed". I don't think there are any relevant
logs for this issue. Here's some anecdotal evidence, though:

# dmesg | grep oom-killer
[1389379.248406] apt-mirror invoked oom-killer: gfp_mask=0x26000c0, order=2, 
oom_score_adj=0

oom_score_adj=0

# cat /proc/uptime
1551384.55 11908654.03

So in the ~7 hours since changing these sysctls, the oom-killer hasn't
run, whereas it was running regularly before that.
