mm/mglru: reclaim offlined memcgs harder
In the effort to reduce zombie memcgs [1], it was discovered that the memcg LRU doesn't apply enough pressure on offlined memcgs. Specifically, instead of rotating them to the tail of the current generation (MEMCG_LRU_TAIL) for a second attempt, it moves them to the next generation (MEMCG_LRU_YOUNG) after the first attempt. Not applying enough pressure on offlined memcgs can cause them to build up, and this can be particularly harmful to memory-constrained systems. On Pixel 8 Pro, launching apps for 50 cycles: Before After Change Zombie memcgs 45 35 -22% [1] https://lore.kernel.org/CABdmKX2M6koq4Q0Cmp_-=wbP0Qa190HdEGGaHfxNS05gAkUtPA@mail.gmail.com/ Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20231208061407.2125867-4-yuzhao@google.com Fixes: e4dde56cd208 ("mm: multi-gen LRU: per-node lru_gen_folio lists") Signed-off-by: Yu Zhao <yuzhao@google.com> Reported-by: T.J.
