There are cases where order-2 has some pages but I have commented on
that here [1]

I am not sure we can fix these pathological loads where we hit the
higher order depletion and there is a chance that one of the thousands
tasks terminates in an unpredictable way which happens to race with the
OOM killer. As I've pointed out in [1] once the watermark check for the
higher order allocation fails for the given order then we cannot rely
on the reclaimable pages ever construct the required order. The current
zone_reclaimable approach just happens to work for this particular load
because the NR_PAGES_SCANNED gets reseted too often with a side effect
of an undeterministic behavior.
