Thanks so much for doing this. I am still failing to reproduce the
problem so this is very useful. I believe if those programs are not
triggered at all then we are not walking the memcg reclaim path, which
shouldn't happen since we are setting memory.high to a limit and then
allocating more memory, which should trigger memcg reclaim.

I am looking at the code now, and there are some conditions that will
cause memory.high to not invoke reclaim (at least synchronously). Did
you try diff2.patch attached in the previous email? It changes the
test to use memory.max instead of memory.high, this will cause an OOM
kill of the test child process, but it should be a stronger guarantee
that reclaim happens and we hit mm_vmscan_memcg_reclaim_begin/end().
If diff2.patch above works, is it okay to keep it? Is it okay to have
some test processes OOM killed during testing?

cgroup_rstat_flush() should be completely separate in this regard, and
should not affect the code path that triggers
mm_vmscan_memcg_reclaim_begin/end().
