OK, good to hear and fingers crossed. I will try to get back to the
original problem and a better solution sometimes early next year when
all the things settle a bit.

Michal, problem, unfortunately, happened again :( twice. When it
happened first time (two days ago) i don't want to believe it so i
recompiled the kernel and boot it again to be sure i really used your
patch. Today it happened again, here is report:

which suggests that the patch is incomplete and that I am blind :/
mem_cgroup_cache_charge calls __mem_cgroup_try_charge for the page cache
and that one doesn't check GFP_MEMCG_NO_OOM. So you need the following
follow-up patch on top of the one you already have (which should catch
all the remaining cases).
Sorry about that...
