From: Johannes Weiner <hannes@xxxxxxxxxxx>
Subject: mm: memcontrol: switch soft limit default back to infinity
3e32cb2e0a12 ("mm: memcontrol: lockless page counters") accidentally
switched the soft limit default from infinity to zero, which turns all
memcgs with even a single page into soft limit excessors and engages soft
limit reclaim on all of them during global memory pressure. This makes
global reclaim generally more aggressive, but also inverts the meaning of
existing soft limit configurations where unset soft limits are usually
more generous than set ones.
