Minchan Kim 791b48b642 mm: vmscan: scan until it finds eligible pages
Although there are a ton of free swap and anonymous LRU page in elgible
zones, OOM happened.

With investigation, skipping page of isolate_lru_pages makes reclaim
void because it returns zero nr_taken easily so LRU shrinking is
effectively nothing and just increases priority aggressively.  Finally,
OOM happens.

The problem is that get_scan_count determines nr_to_scan with eligible
zones so although priority drops to zero, it couldn't reclaim any pages
if the LRU contains mostly ineligible pages.

get_scan_count:

        size = lruvec_lru_size(lruvec, lru, sc->reclaim_idx);
	size = size >> sc->priority;

Assumes sc->priority is 0 and LRU list is as follows.

	N-N-N-N-H-H-H-H-H-H-H-H-H-H-H-H-H-H-H-H

(Ie, small eligible pages are in the head of LRU but others are
 almost ineligible pages)

In that case, size becomes 4 so VM want to scan 4 pages but 4 pages from
tail of the LRU are not eligible pages.  If get_scan_count counts
skipped pages, it doesn't reclaim any pages remained after scanning 4
pages so it ends up OOM happening.

This patch makes isolate_lru_pages try to scan pages until it encounters
eligible zones's pages.
