I used most of weekend for background reclaim on workqueue and I changed many
things based on your patch (but dropped most of kswapd descriptor...patches.)

Thank you for the heads up. Although I am still having concerns on the workqueue approach, but 
thank you for your time to give a try. 

One of my concerns is still the debug-ability and I am not being convinced the resource consumption is a killing issue for the per-memcg
kswapd thread. Anyway, looking to see your change.

I'll post it today after some tests on machines in my office. It worked well
on my laptop.

Thanks,
