I didn't know that. My testing was almost without oom_reap_vmas().

Yes, you are lucky that you did not hit the mmap_sem contention.
I retested with
static void oom_reap_vmas(struct mm_struct *mm)
{
int attempts = 0;
while (attempts++ < 10 && !__oom_reap_vmas(mm))
- schedule_timeout(HZ/10);
+ msleep_interruptible(100);
+ printk(KERN_WARNING "oom_reaper: attempts=%u\n", attempts);
/* Drop a reference taken by wake_oom_reaper */
mmdrop(mm);
}
and I can hit that attempts becomes 11 (i.e. oom_reap_vmas() gives up
waiting) if I ran a memory stressing program with many contending
mmap_sem readers and writers shown below.

Yes, this is an insane program. But what is important will be we prepare for
cases when oom_reap_vmas() gave up waiting. Silent hang up is annoying.
Like Andrew said
( http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20151216153513.e432dc70e035e5d07984710c@linux-foundation.org ),
I want to add a watchdog for printk()ing.
