Did not help with my load at all, I'm afraid: quite the reverse,
OOMed very much sooner (as usual on order=2), and with much more
noise (multiple OOMs) than your previous patch.

vmstats.xz attached; sorry, I don't have tracing built in,
and must move on to the powerpc issue before going back to bed.

I do hate replying without having something constructive to say, but
have very little time to think about this, and no bright ideas so far.

I do not understand why it's so easy for me to reproduce, yet impossible
for you - unless it's that you are still doing all your testing in a VM?
Is Sergey the only other to see this issue?

Hugh
