Yes, I already tried it and just replied to Michal.

I tested for one hour using various memory stressing programs.
As far as I tested, I did not hit silent hang up (

 MemAlloc-Info: X stalling task, 0 dying task, 0 victim task.

where X > 0).

Only problem I felt is that the ratio of inactive_file/writeback
(shown below) was high (compared to shown above) when I did

  $ cat < /dev/zero > /tmp/file1 & cat < /dev/zero > /tmp/file2 & cat < /dev/zero > /tmp/file3 & sleep 10; ./a.out; killall cat

but I think this patch is better than current code.

I can still hit OOM livelock (

 MemAlloc-Info: X stalling task, Y dying task, Z victim task.

where X > 0 && Y > 0).
