However, we now have a generally agreed-upon standard for page reclaim: MAX_RECLAIM_RETRIES (currently 16), added many years later in 0a0337e0d1d1 ("mm, oom: rework oom detection"). In the absence of a compelling reason to declare an OOM earlier in memcg context than page allocator context, it seems reasonable to supplant MEM_CGROUP_RECLAIM_RETRIES with MAX_RECLAIM_RETRIES, making the page allocator and memcg internals more similar in semantics when reclaim fails to produce results, avoiding premature OOMs or throttling.
