Subject: [PATCH 5/9] memcg: remove the soft limit rbtree
Date: Tue, 11 Aug 2026 13:31:59 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260811203203.3456029-6-shakeel.butt@linux.dev> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260811203203.3456029-1-shakeel.butt@linux.dev>
With soft limit reclaim gone, the per-node rbtree of cgroups in excess
has no readers left. Remove the tree, the helpers maintaining it, and
the subsys_initcall that existed only to allocate it. memcg1_check_events()
no longer needs to feed it, which also drops the last caller of
lru_gen_soft_reclaim().
Signed-off-by: Shakeel Butt <shakeel.butt@linux.dev>
