The oom killer use get_mm_rss() function to estimate how free memory will be reclaimed when the oom killer select victim task.
However, the returned rss size by get_mm_rss() function was changed from "mm, shmem: add internal shmem resident memory accounting" commit. This commit makes the get_mm_rss() return size including SHMEM pages. The oom killer can't get free memory from SHMEM pages directly after kill victim process, it leads to mis-calculate victim points. Therefore, make new API as get_mm_rss_wo_shmem() which returns the rss value excluding SHMEM_PAGES.
