Sorry, I should have been more specific that I was talking about mem_cgroup_reclaim_cookie path where the iteration for this particular zone and priority ended at the last node without finishing the full roundtrip last time. This new iteration (prev==NULL) wants to continue and it should start a new roundtrip.
