Why is it no problem? For example, let's think of normal zone reclaim.
Page allocator try to allocate pages from NORMAL zone to DMA zone fallback
and your logic could trigger mpc_shrinker. So process A, B, C start to
release thier freeable memory but unfortunately, freed pages are all
HIGHMEM pages. Why should processes release memory unnecessary?
Is there any method for proecess to detect such situation in user level
before releasing the freeable memory?
In android smart phone, until now, there was a zone - DMA so low memory
killer didn't have a problem but these days smart phone use 2G DRAM so
we started seeing the above problem. Your generic approach should solve
the problem, too.
