Hope that tells you something useful.

It just supports my another theory. This seems to fix it for me:

        inactive_lru_pages = get_lru_size(lruvec, LRU_INACTIVE_FILE);
        if (nr_swap_pages > 0)
                inactive_lru_pages += get_lru_size(lruvec,
LRU_INACTIVE_ANON);

And for you?

(It's an effective revert of "mm: vmscan: scale number of pages
reclaimed by reclaim/compaction based on failures".)
