This patch shouldn't make any difference. It is a cleanup patch.
I guess you meant 71ab6cfe88dc ("mm, vmscan: consider eligible zones in
get_scan_count") but even that one shouldn't make any difference for 64b
systems.

This is not OOM it is an allocation stall. The allocation request cannot
simply make forward progress for more than 10s. This alone is bad but
considering this is GFP_HIGHUSER_MOVABLE which has the full reclaim
capabilities I would suspect your workload overcommits the available
memory too much. You only have ~380MB of RAM with ~160MB sitting in the
anonymous memory, almost nothing in the page cache so I am not wondering
that you see a constant swap activity. There seems to be only 40M in the
slab so we are still missing ~180MB which is neither on the LRU lists
nor allocated by slab. This means that some kernel subsystem allocates
from the page allocator directly.

That being said, I believe that what you are seeing is not a bug in the
MM subsystem but rather some susbsytem using more memory than it used to
before so your workload doesn't fit into the amount of memory you have
anymore.
