This bug seems failed due to a update_lru_size() missing or misplace, but
what's I changed on this patch seems unlike to cause this bug.

Anyway, Qian, could you do me a favor to remove this patch and try again?
Since I am trying ltp's oom01 case,
# i=0; while :; do echo $((i++)); oom01; sleep 5; done
It runs well in dozens times on my qemu and hardware machine, on akpm branch commit f2cbd107a99b,
which included my 6 patches.


Andrew,

What's the reproduce steps for this test failure?

Thanks a lot for everyone!
Alex
