Vladimir has noticed that we might declare memcg oom even during readahead because read_pages only uses GFP_KERNEL (with mapping_gfp restriction) while __do_page_cache_readahead uses page_cache_alloc_readahead which adds __GFP_NORETRY to prevent from OOMs. This gfp mask discrepancy is really unfortunate and easily fixable. Drop page_cache_alloc_readahead() which only has one user and outsource the gfp_mask logic into readahead_gfp_mask and propagate this mask from __do_page_cache_readahead down to read_pages. This alone would have only very limited impact as most filesystems are implementing ->readpages and the common implementation mpage_readpages does GFP_KERNEL (with mapping_gfp restriction) again. We can tell it to use readahead_gfp_mask instead as this function is called only during readahead as well. The same applies to read_cache_pages. ext4 has its own ext4_mpage_readpages but the path which has pages != NULL can use the same gfp mask. Btrfs, cifs, f2fs and orangefs are doing a very similar pattern to mpage_readpages so the same can be applied to them as well.
