Subject: [PATCH 3/3] mm, oom: protect !costly allocations some more
From: Michal Hocko <mhocko@...e.com>
should_reclaim_retry will give up retries for higher order allocations
if none of the eligible zones has any requested or higher order pages
available even if we pass the watermak check for order-0. This is done
because there is no guarantee that the reclaimable and currently free
pages will form the required order.
This can, however, lead to situations were the high-order request (e.g.
order-2 required for the stack allocation during fork) will trigger
OOM too early - e.g. after the first reclaim/compaction round. Such a
system would have to be highly fragmented and there is no guarantee
further reclaim/compaction attempts would help but at least make sure
that the compaction was active before we go OOM and keep retrying even
if should_reclaim_retry tells us to oom if the last compaction round
was either inactive (deferred, skipped or bailed out early due to
contention) or it told us to continue.
