I wonder.... I just wonder...if we can split a lruvec in a zone into small
pieces of lruvec and have splitted LRU-lock per them, do we need per-memcg-lrulock ?

It seems per-memcg-lrulock can be much bigger lock than small-lruvec-lock.
(depends on configuraton) and much more complicated..and have to take care
of many things.. If unit of splitting can be specified by boot option,
it seems admins can split a big memcg's per-memcg-lru lock into more small pieces.

BTW, how to think of default size of splitting ? I wonder splitting lru into
the number of cpus per a node can be a choice. Each cpu may have a chance to
set prefered-pfn-range at page allocation with additional patches.

Thanks,
