The list_lru structure is essentially just a pointer to a table of per-node LRU lists. Even if CONFIG_MEMCG_KMEM is defined, the list field is just used for LRU list registration and shrinker_id is set at initialization. Those fields won't need to be touched that often. So there is no point to make the list_lru structures to sit in their own cachelines.
