It occurs in 1 out of 4 tests.This is an atomic allocations. So the failure really depends on the state of the free memory and that can vary between runs depending on timing I guess. So I am not really sure this is a regression. But maybe there is something reclaim related going on here.
Yes, it does depend on how the drivers rely on atomic allocations. I just wonder if any changes make the pressure more tight than before. It may not even be a MM change -- in theory drivers might also use atomic allocations more aggressively than before.

Heh, agreed.

We cannot tell much without it. Maybe collecting /proc/vmstat during the test will tell us more.
Attached the JSON format per-second vmstat records. It feels more readable than the raw dumps. Thanks, Fengguang
