Hugh Dickins 35451beecb ksm: unmerge is an origin of OOMs ... Just as the swapoff system call allocates many pages of RAM to various processes, perhaps triggering OOM, so "echo 2 >/sys/kernel/mm/ksm/run" (unmerge) is liable to allocate many pages of RAM to various processes, perhaps triggering OOM; and each is normally run from a modest admin process (swapoff or shell), easily repeated until it succeeds. So treat unmerge_and_remove_all_rmap_items() in the same way that we treat try_to_unuse(): generalize PF_SWAPOFF to PF_OOM_ORIGIN, and bracket both with that, to ask the OOM killer to kill them first, to prevent them from spawning more and more OOM kills.
