Since commit 2c80cd57c743 ("mm/list_lru.c: fix list_lru_count_node()
to be race free"), we are tracking the total number of lru
entries in a list_lru_node in its nr_items field.  In the case of
memcg_drain_list_lru_node(), there is nothing to be done if nr_items
is 0.  We don't even need to take the nlru->lock as no new lru entry
could be added by a racing list_lru_add() to the draining src_idx memcg
at this point.

Hi Waiman!

The patch makes total sense to me, however it needs to be rebased at least
on top of "mm: list_lru: rename memcg_drain_all_list_lrus to memcg_reparent_list_lrus".

Thanks!


This patch was based on the current linux-next tree which includes commit
ff221bc26bdd ("mm: list_lru: rename memcg_drain_all_list_lrus to
memcg_reparent_list_lrus"). I do remember to double-check linux-next before
sending this patch out. In fact, the same patch can be applied to both linux
and linux-next tree without problem.
I'm looking at the mm tree (https://github.com/hnaz/linux-mm.git) and clearly
see that commit "mm: list_lru: rename memcg_drain_all_list_lrus to
memcg_reparent_list_lrus" eliminated the function with the name
memcg_drain_list_lru_node(), which your patch is touching.
Currently the function is located in list_lru.c and is named
memcg_reparent_list_lru_node().

linux-next is sometimes a bit behind the mm tree.

Oh, you are right. I will rebase the patch based on linux-mm.

Thanks for the suggestion.

Cheers,
Longman
