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.
