    Absolutely. You're right.
    But In my opinion, mlocked shmem pages are important ?
    Now we care only number of unevictable pages but don't care what kinds
    of pages there are in unevictable list.

    What we need is to decode OOM more easily.
    I think what kinds of pages there area unevictable lur list is not important.
