The gem drivers use shmemfs to allocate backing storage for gem objects. On Samsung Chromebook Plus, the drm/rockchip driver may call rockchip_gem_get_pages -> drm_gem_get_pages -> shmem_read_mapping_page to pin a lot of pages, breaking the page reclaim mechanism and causing oom-killer invocation. E.g. when the size of a zone is 3.9 GiB, the inactive_ratio is 5. If active_anon / inactive_anon < 5 and all pages in the inactive_anon lru are pinned, page reclaim would keep scanning inactive_anon lru without reclaiming memory. It breaks page reclaim when the rockchip driver only pins about 1/6 of the anon lru pages. Mark these pinned pages as unevictable to avoid the premature oom-killer invocation.
