A couple of issues has been revealed recently, here are fixes (hashes are from the next tree): 5f4b04528b5f mm: don't reclaim inodes with many attached pages 5a03b371ad6a mm: handle no memcg case in memcg_kmem_charge() properly These two patches should be added to the serie. Re stable backporting, I'd really wait for some time. Memory reclaim is a quite complex and fragile area, so even if patches are correct by themselve= s, they can easily cause a regression by revealing some other issues (as it wa= s with the inode reclaim case). Thanks!
