Hi Hillf,

Thanks for your patch. It could fix this issue.
But I'm wondering if it is proper to place a new scan_control in
mem_cgroup_shrink_node().
Because the page alloction context is stored in the original
scan_control, but this new scan_control beaks it at all.
For example, the sc.nodemask is the page allocation preferred node,
but it is override by the new scan_control, that may cause extra
useless page reclaim, especially in the direct reclaim path.

Thanks
