Subject: [PATCH 3/3] memcg: bail out proactive reclaim when memcg is dying
Date: Tue, 23 Jun 2026 14:27:56 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260623062800.298514-4-jiayuan.chen@linux.dev> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260623062800.298514-1-jiayuan.chen@linux.dev>
From: Jiayuan Chen <jiayuan.chen@shopee.com>
Proactive reclaim via memory.reclaim can run for a long time - swap I/O
or thrashing again dominating the latency - and delays cgroup removal in
the same way.
Mitigate this by stopping the reclaim once memcg_is_dying().
