I want general improvements to reclaim to address the issues that you see

PF_MEMALLOC allocs compete for allocations from a single slab and putting
logic into the kernel to decide which allocs to fail. We can reclaim after
all. Its just a matter of finding the right way to do this.
The simplest way of achieving that would be to allow
recursion of the page reclaim code, under the condition
that the second level call can only reclaim clean pages,
while the "outer" call does what the VM does today.
