First, both shrinkers are missing the SHRINKER_NONSLAB flag, so shrinker_memcg_alloc() demotes them to non-memcg-aware shrinkers: limit-induced reclaim of a cgroup neither splits its partially unmapped THPs nor writes back its zswapped pages. v1 of this series [1] restored the flag to fix that. However, as Sashiko's review of v1 pointed out [2], the flag alone is not enough. __list_lru_init() also collapses every list_lru into per-node lists under nokmem, so even with the flag restored, the objects of all cgroups share one list per node: the per-memcg shrinker bit is only set for whichever memcg happens to repopulate the empty list, so pressure in other cgroups may not even trigger the scan, and when it does, the scan walks everyone's objects. Before commit fafaeceb89a5 ("mm: switch deferred split shrinker to list_lru"), THP had fully per-memcg deferred split queues embedded in struct mem_cgroup, working independently of kmem accounting. nokmem only opts out of kernel slab accounting; THPs and zswapped pages are user memory and remain charged to their cgroups, so per-memcg reclaim is still what these shrinkers want. This series keeps list_lrus backed by SHRINKER_NONSLAB shrinkers memcg aware under nokmem: Patch 1 drops the kmemcg_id copy, which is only assigned when kmem accounting is enabled, and derives the list_lru xarray index from the memcg ID directly, so the index works independently of kmem accounting. It also drops the nokmem early return from memcg_offline_kmem() so these lrus are reparented on offline. Patch 2 keeps a list_lru memcg aware under nokmem when its backing shrinker is registered SHRINKER_NONSLAB. Patches 3 and 4 restore/add SHRINKER_NONSLAB on the THP deferred split shrinker and the zswap shrinker, unchanged from v1. The savings of nokmem are preserved: slab-backed lrus (e.g. the superblock dentry/inode lrus) still fall back to per-node lists, and the per-memcg lists are only allocated when a memcg actually holds such objects.
