What I am worried about is it's would still fail if the mempool is used empty during memory pressure.

Not yet, I didn't find this issue in real case, but I agree, it's really a problem in some broken
hardware, I think it's not a easy problem, we could improve it step by step.
Thanks!
Yijing.
I have seen this scenario on our development board when we have a bad
physical cable connection - the PHY continually goes up and down in a loop.
So, in this regard, it is worth safeguarding against this scenario.
