Below patch did SysRq-f part for me. Nothing complicated.

Complete log is at http://I-love.SAKURA.ne.jp/tmp/serial-20160106.txt.xz .
I don't think this depletion was caused by above patch because the last
invocation was not SysRq-f. I believe we should add a workaround for
the worst case now. It is impossible to add it after we made the code
more and more difficult to test.

I could not catch what you want to say. If you are worrying about failing
to call oom_reap_vmas() for second victim due to invoking the OOM killer
again before mm_to_reap is updated from first victim to NULL, we can walk
on the process list.
By the way, it would be nice if console_callback() can work as well as
moom_callback(), for sometimes updating console text is deferred until
OOM livelock is solved by pressing SysRq-f. Under such situation, serial
console and/or netconsole which are updated by synchronously emitted
printk() is the only way for checking progress.
