Subject: Re: [RFC][PATCH 3/4] memcg: fix for mem_cgroup_hierarchical_reclaim

Hmm, seems necessary fix. Then, it's better to rebase my patch on to this.
Reviewed-by: KAMEZAWA Hiroyuki <kamezawa.hiroyu@...fujitsu.com>
Maybe simpler one can be written but my patch remove all this out later....
Thanks,
