"invalidate_root" suggests we still have to invalidate the root, but
the variable works the opposite way. How about dropping it altogether
and moving the comment directly to where the decision is made:
struct mem_cgroup *memcg = dead_memcg;
do {
__invalidate_reclaim_iterators(memcg, dead_memcg);
last = memcg;
} while ((memcg = parent_mem_cgroup(memcg)));
/*
* When cgruop1 non-hierarchy mode is used,
* parent_mem_cgroup() does not walk all the way up to the
* cgroup root (root_mem_cgroup). So we have to handle
* dead_memcg from cgroup root separately.
*/
if (last != root_mem_cgroup)
__invalidate_reclaim_iterators(root_mem_cgroup, dead_memcg);
