OK, you made me more curious. If this is a tiny guest and this is a hard limit reclaim path then we should trigger an oom killer which should kill the offender and that in turn bail out from the try_charge lopp (see should_force_charge). So how come this repeats enough in your setup that it causes soft lockups? -- Michal Hocko SUSE Labs
