With multiple memcgs, it do help a lot, I had gotten 30% grain on readtwice
case. but yes, w/o MEMCG and NUMA, it's good to keep old behavior. So would you like has a proposal for this?

Oh, no, I'm not against your idea. I was saying it doesn't seem
necessary to sort -- a nested loop would just do the job given
pagevec is small.

Yeah that could work. The worst case doesn't look nice (O(n^2)) but it should be rather rare to have pages from really multiple memcgs/nodes?

Maybe with the following change? Avoids going through the nulls if we got lucky (or have !MEMCG !NUMA).
