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.
