I don't think it's too great, memcg uses for half of that and yet
nobody is booting with cgroup_disable=memory even on not-NUMA servers
with less RAM.
Not any more.
Ever since the memcg naturalization work by Johannes,
a page is only ever on one LRU list and the memcg
memory overhead is gone.
But I'm all for experimenting. It's just not something I had the time
to try yet. I will certainly love to see how it performs by reducing
the max size of the list. I totally agree it's a good idea to try it
out, and I don't exclude it will work fine, but it's not obvious it's
worth the memory saving.
That's fair enough.
