    mm, vmscan: cleanup lru size claculations

    commit fd538803731e50367b7c59ce4ad3454426a3d671 upstream.

This patch shouldn't make any difference. It is a cleanup patch.
I guess you meant 71ab6cfe88dc ("mm, vmscan: consider eligible zones in
get_scan_count") but even that one shouldn't make any difference for 64b
systems.

But still OOMs:
[157048.030760] clamscan: page allocation stalls for 19405ms, order:0, mode:0x14200ca(GFP_HIGHUSER_MOVABLE), nodemask=(null)

This is not OOM it is an allocation stall. The allocation request cannot
simply make forward progress for more than 10s. This alone is bad but
considering this is GFP_HIGHUSER_MOVABLE which has the full reclaim
capabilities I would suspect your workload overcommits the available
memory too much. You only have ~380MB of RAM with ~160MB sitting in the
anonymous memory, almost nothing in the page cache so I am not wondering
that you see a constant swap activity. There seems to be only 40M in the
slab so we are still missing ~180MB which is neither on the LRU lists
nor allocated by slab. This means that some kernel subsystem allocates
from the page allocator directly.

That being said, I believe that what you are seeing is not a bug in the
MM subsystem but rather some susbsytem using more memory than it used to
before so your workload doesn't fit into the amount of memory you have
anymore.
