Hmm, bigger than expected. I'm glad if you can divide this into small pieces.

Hmm, do we this always at uncharge ?

I doubt we really need mz->all_unreclaimable ....

Anyway, I'd like to see this all_unreclaimable logic in an independet patch.
Because direct-relcaim pass should see this, too.

So, could you devide this pieces into

1. record last node .... I wonder this logic should be used in direct-reclaim pass, too.

2. all_unreclaimable .... direct reclaim will be affected, too.

3. scanning core.

Ok. will make the change for the next post.

I don't want to see zone balancing logic in memcg.
It should be a work of global lru.

IOW, even if we remove global LRU finally, we should
implement zone balancing logic in _global_ (per node) kswapd.
(kswapd can pass zone mask to each memcg.)

If you want some clever logic for memcg specail, I think it should be
deteciting 'which node should be victim' logic rather than round-robin.
(But yes, starting from easy round robin makes sense.)

So, could you add more simple one ?

 do {
   select victim node
   do reclaim
 } while (need_stop)

zone balancing should be done other than memcg.

what we really need to improve is 'select victim node'.

I will separate out the logic in the next post. So it would be easier to optimize each individual functionality.
