Serveral months ago,i report this issue.I suggest to use available memory.
You can test with available memory instead of freeram,It will be OK.

Subject: [LTP] [PATCH] lib: memutils: respect minimum memory watermark when polluting memory
Previous fix for an out-of-memory killer killing ioctl_sg01 process
in commit 4d2e3d44fad5 ("lib: memutils: don't pollute
entire system memory to avoid OoM") was not fully effective.  While it
covers most of the cases, an ARM64 machine with 128 GB of memory, 64 kB
page size and v5.11 kernel hit it again.  Polluting the memory fails
with OoM:
 
  LTP: starting ioctl_sg01
  ioctl_sg01 invoked oom-killer: gfp_mask=0x100dca(GFP_HIGHUSER_MOVABLE|__GFP_ZERO), order=0, oom_score_adj=0
  ...
  Mem-Info:
  active_anon:309 inactive_anon:1964781 isolated_anon:0
                  active_file:94 inactive_file:0 isolated_file:0

  lowmem_reserve[]: 0 0 0 0 0
 
The important part are details of memory on Node 0 in Normal zone:
1. free memory: 6460096 kB
2. min (minimum watermark): 6463168 kB
 
Parse the /proc/zoneinfo and include the "min" data when counting safety
(free memory which should not be polluted).  This way we also include
minimum memory for DMA zones and all nodes.
