This is > really messy. One of the two has to go away. In this case mem_cgroup_out_of_memory() takes locks and mutexes but doing nothing useful and its success causes try_charge_memcg() to repeat the loop unnecessarily. I cannot change mem_cgroup_out_of_memory internals, because it is used in other places too.The check inside mem_cgroup_out_of_memory is required because situation can be changed after check added into mem_cgroup_oom(). Though I got your argument, and will think how to improve the patch. Anyway we'll need to do something with name of should_force_charge() function that will NOT lead to forced charge.
