As I've mentioned in the previous version and testing results. Are you
sure that the lazy unevictable pages collecting is the real problem
here? The test case was generating a lot of page cache and we simply do
not reclaim anon LRUs at all. Maybe I have misunderstood the test
though. I am also wondering whether unevictable pages culling can be
really visible when we do the anon LRU reclaim because the swap path is
quite expensinve on its own.
