shrink_memcg_node() instead of balance_pgdat_node() ?
I guess the name is misleading.

Here, too. shrink_mem_cgroup() may be straightforward.

Even with !laptop_mode, "write_page since the 1st scan" should be avoided.
How about sc.may_writepage = 1 when we do "goto loop_again;" ?

This can be moved out from the loop.

Hmm...let me try a different style.
==
start_node = mem_cgroup_select_victim_node(mem_cont, &do_nodes);
for (nid = start_node;
nid != start_node && !node_empty(do_nodes);
nid = mem_cgroup_select_victim_node(mem_cont, &do_nodes)) {
shrink_memcg_node(NODE_DATA(nid), order, &sc);
total_scanned += sc.nr_scanned;
for (i = 0; i < NODE_DATA(nid)->nr_zones; i++) {
if (populated_zone(NODE_DATA(nid)->node_zones + i))
break;
}
if (i == NODE_DATA(nid)->nr_zones)
node_clear(nid, do_nodes);
if (mem_cgroup_watermark_ok(mem_cont, CHARGE_WMARK_HIGH))
break;
}
==
In short, I like for() loop rather than while(1) because next calculation and
end condition are clear.

Isn't this wrong ? I guess
if (populated_zone(zone))
break;
is what you want to do.
