This is going to reduce the delta that is added to shrinker->nr significantly thereby increasing the number of times that shrink_slab() is called. What does the "lru_pages" parameter do in shrink_slab()? Looks like its only role is as a divison factor in a complex calculation of pages to be scanned. do_try_to_free_pages passes 0 as "lru_pages" to shrink_slab() when trying to do cgroup lru scans.
