Yes, current design is not the best thing, my bad. (I had to band-aid against unexpected panic in pagefault_out_of_memory.) But tweaking that vaule seems not promissing. Essential fix is better. The best fix is don't call oom-killer in pagefault_out_of_memory. So, returning other than VM_FAULT_OOM is the best, I think. But hmm...we don't have VM_FAULT_AGAIN etc.. So, please avoid quick fix. One thing I can think of is sleep-and-retry in try_charge() if PF_MEMDIE is not set. (But..By this, memcg will never return faiulre in page fault. but it may sound reasonable.)
