The global per-zone LRU lists are about to go away on memcg-enabled
kernels, global reclaim must be able to find its pages on the
per-memcg LRU lists.
Since the LRU pages of a zone are distributed over all existing memory
cgroups, a scan target for a zone is complete when all memory cgroups
are scanned for their proportional share of a zone's memory.
The forced scanning of small scan targets from kswapd is limited to
zones marked unreclaimable, otherwise kswapd can quickly overreclaim
by force-scanning the LRU lists of multiple memory cgroups.
