Hey Michal,

> Do you have any example OOM reports? [..]

Sure, here is one on a 1TiB, 128-physical core machine running a
5.10-based kernel (sorry, it reads pretty awkwardly when wrapped):

---8<---

Node 0/1 Normal free memory is below respective min watermarks, with
790040kB+253500kB ~= 1GiB of memory on pcp lists.

With this patch, the GFP_HIGHUSER_MOVABLE + unrestricted mems_allowed
allocation would have allowed us to access all that memory, very
likely avoiding the oom.

I'm not familiar with these changes, but a quick check of recent
activity points to v6.7 commit fa8c4f9a665b ("mm: fix draining remote
pageset") ; is this what you are referring to?

Thanks, and have a great day,
Zach
