Subject: [PATCH v5 6/6] memg: do target scan if unbalanced
Because do_try_to_free_pages() scans node based on zonelist,
even if we select a victim node, we may scan other nodes.
When the nodes are balanced, it's good because we'll quit scan loop
before updating 'priority'. But when the nodes are unbalanced,
it will force scanning a very small nodes and will cause
swap-out when the node doesn't contains enough file caches.
This patch selects zonelist[] for vmscan scan list for memcg.
If memcg is well balanced among nodes, usual fall back (and mask) is used.
If not, it selects node local zonelist and do target reclaim.
This will reduce unnecessary (anon page) scans when memcg is not balanced.
Now, memcg/NUMA is balanced when each node's weight is between
80% and 120% of average node weight.
(*) This value is just a magic number but works well in several tests.
Further study to detemine this value is appreciated.
