Potentially it takes several scans of the lru lists before we can even start reclaiming pages. mapped pages, with young ptes can take 2 passes on the active list + one on the inactive list. But reclaim_mapped may not always kick in instantly, so it could take even more than that. Raise the threshold for marking a zone as all_unreclaimable from a factor of 4 time the pages in the zone to 6. Introduce a mechanism to force reclaim_mapped if we've reached a factor 3 and still haven't made progress. Previously, a customer doing stress testing was able to easily OOM the box after using only a small fraction of its swap (~100MB). After the patches, it would only OOM after having used up all swap (~800MB).
