OK, this is better than reclaiming them.

The lock would bounce like crazy. It shouldn't be a big problem to list_move to a local list and then work on that one without the lock. Those pages wouldn't be visible for the reclaim but that would be only temporary. Or if that is not acceptable then just batch at least some number of pages (popular SWAP_CLUSTER_MAX). > + if (!get_page_unless_zero(page)) { > + list_move(&page->lru, list); > + spin_unlock_irqrestore(&zone->lru_lock, flags); > + continue; > + } > + BUG_ON(!PageLRU(page)); > + ClearPageLRU(page); > + del_page_from_lru_list(page, lruvec, lru); > + spin_unlock_irqrestore(&zone->lru_lock, flags); > + > + compound_lock(page); > + nr_pages = hpage_nr_pages(page); > + > + if (!mem_cgroup_move_account(page, nr_pages, > + memcg, root_mem_cgroup)) { > + /* > + * root_mem_cgroup page counters are not used, > + * otherwise we'd have to charge them here. > + */ > + page_counter_uncharge(&memcg->memory, nr_pages); > + if (do_swap_account) > + page_counter_uncharge(&memcg->memsw, nr_pages); > + css_put_many(&memcg->css, nr_pages); > + } > + > + compound_unlock(page); > + > + putback_lru_page(page); > + } > +} > + > +static void unbind_work_fn(struct work_struct *work) > +{ > + struct cgroup_subsys_state *css; > +retry: > + drain_all_stock(root_mem_cgroup); > + > + rcu_read_lock(); > + css_for_each_child(css, &root_mem_cgroup->css) { > + struct mem_cgroup *memcg = mem_cgroup_from_css(css); > + > + /* Drop references from swap-out records */ > + if (do_swap_account) { > + long zapped; > + > + zapped = swap_cgroup_zap_records(memcg->css.id); > + page_counter_uncharge(&memcg->memsw, zapped); > + css_put_many(&memcg->css, zapped); > + } > + > + /* Drop references from leftover LRU pages */ > + css_get(css); > + rcu_read_unlock(); > + atomic_inc(&memcg->moving_account); > + synchronize_rcu(); Why do we need this?
