+               protect_root = 0;
+               goto retry;
+       }

The idea is good to me.
But once we meet it, should we give up protecting root privileged processes?
How about decaying bonus point?

After applying my patch, unprivileged process never get score-1. (note, mapping
anon pages naturally makes to increase nr_ptes)

Then, decaying don't make any accuracy. Am I missing something?
