Re: mm: 5.16 regression: reclaim_throttle leads to stall in near-OOM conditions

[Alexey Avramov]

>but can you test this?

I have already tested different parameters, and 
found that even zero timeout is unsatisfactory.

The introduction of reclaim_throttle() itself 
dramatically worsens the stall in near-OOM.

What test else I should perform?

Okay, on one side of the scale is the use of the CPU, on the other 
side is the risk of stall.

My dissatisfaction is caused by the fact that the scale has now 
tipped sharply in favor of stall.
Although even before this change, users complained about the inability 
to wait for OOM:
