Subject: mm: memcontrol: continue cache reclaim from offlined groups
On cgroup deletion, outstanding page cache charges are moved to the parent
group so that they're not lost and can be reclaimed during pressure
on/inside said parent. But this reparenting is fairly tricky and its
synchroneous nature has led to several lock-ups in the past.
Since c2931b70a32c ("cgroup: iterate cgroup_subsys_states directly") css
iterators now also include offlined css, so memcg iterators can be changed
to include offlined children during reclaim of a group, and leftover cache
can just stay put.
There is a slight change of behavior in that charges of deleted groups no
longer show up as local charges in the parent. But they are still
included in the parent's hierarchical statistics.
