[PATCH] vmscan: count writeback pages in nr_scanned
OOM kills have been observed with 70% of the pages in lowmem being in the writeback state. If we count those pages in sc->nr_scanned, the VM should throttle and wait for IO completion, instead of OOM killing. (akpm: this is how the code was designed to work - we broke it six months ago).
