Running LTP oom01 in a tight loop or memory stress testing put the system in a low-memory situation could triggers random memory corruption like page flag corruption below due to in fast_isolate_freepages(), if isolation fails, next_search_order() does not abort the search immediately could lead to improper accesses.
