The fix makes sense to me.

However, unconditionally breaking up the batch by node can
unnecessarily regress workloads in cgroups that do not have a soft
limit configured, and cgroup2 which doesn't have soft limits at
all. Consider an interleaving allocation policy for example.

Can you please further gate on memcg->soft_limit != PAGE_COUNTER_MAX,
or at least on !cgroup_subsys_on_dfl(memory_cgrp_subsys)?

Thanks
