If we call for 2 or 3 pages (and both the stack and several slabs used in process creation are such, at least with the debug options I had), it assumed it's being called for stock and just retried without reclaiming. Fix that by passing down a minsize argument in addition to the csize. And what to do about that (csize == PAGE_SIZE && ret) retry? If it's needed at all (and presumably is since it's there, perhaps to handle races), then it should be extended to more than PAGE_SIZE, yet how far? And should there be a retry count limit, of what? For now retry up to COSTLY_ORDER (as page_alloc.c does) and make sure not to do it if __GFP_NORETRY.
