Hi, Michal,

Good catch, it makes sense !
This reminds me of my draft edition of this patch, I specifically handle
this case as:

if (reclaim) {
               if (!memcg ) {
                              iter->generation++;
                              if (!prev) {
                                    memcg = root;
                                    mem_cgroup_iter_update(iter, NULL,
memcg, root,  seq);
                                    goto out_unlock:
                              }
              }
              mem_cgroup_iter_update(iter, last_visited, memcg, root,
                                seq);
              if (!prev && memcg)
                        reclaim->generation = iter->generation;
}

This is literally manual unwinding the second while loop, and thus omit
the while loop,
to save a   mem_cgroup_iter_update() and a mem_cgroup_iter_update()

But it maybe a bit hard to read.

If it is OK, I could resend a new one.

Thanks,
Jianyu Zhan
